Kushano-Sasanian ruler Ardashir I Kushanshah, circa 230-250 CE. Merv mint.


Kushanshahr was a province of the Sasanian Empire comprising the region between Kabul Valley and Peshawar Valley.[1] The Kushanshar territory centered on Tukharistan, and covered the area from Tirmidh to Peshawar.[1] The establishment of Sasanian rule in Kushanshar permitted the control of Central Asian trade routes.[1] The Kushano-Sasanids were in charge of the area. They issued coinage which was following the Kushan standard, due to the traditional importance of trade links with India.[1]


Kushanshahr was a pendant to Eranshahr to the West, which was the craddle of the Sasanian Empire.


Sasanian rule ended in Kushanshahr when the area was overrun by the Kidarites and then the Hephthalites.[1]

Troll (Warhammer)

Troll s are mythical creatures found in Games Workshop's Warhammer Fantasy fictional universe. Contents 1 Description 2 Varieties 2.1 Stone Trolls 2.2 River Trolls 2.3 Chaos Trolls Description Trolls are usually depicted as large, ugly, clumsy brutes, with thick skin. Though they vary greatly in appearance, they are all big, stupid and hungry. Trolls are able to vomit up the contents of their hideous stomach at will, which is particularly bad as troll digestive acids are among the most corrosive substances in the Warhammer world. The metabolism of trolls is such that although apparently knocked down and killed they can regenerate and recover unless decapitated. Trolls are not numerous nor organized enough to form armies of themselves. They are employed by some, such as the Orcs & Goblins because their stupidity makes them of excellent value.
