explanation

[edit]

Why is it called "Alexandria of the Caucasus" when it is, in fact, about 1000 miles from the Caucasus? The article could use some explanation of this. —Charles P._(Mirv) 01:25, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I fail to see why Bagram Air Base, a vital place of arms during the Soviet war in Afganistan, should be mentioned in this particular article. --Ghirla-трёп- 07:42, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Replaced the capital of Gandhara

[edit]

Please provide an English-language reference for the following assertion: --Ghirla-трёп- 21:03, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The city was built on top of Kapiša-kaniš (pronounced "Kapish-Kanish"), capital of the Persian satrapy of Gandara. It is not known whether Gandara was still a part of the Achaemenid Empire when Alexander took it.

Article title

[edit]

The article's title should probably be changed from "Alexandria on the Caucasus" to "Alexandria of [or in] the Caucasus". (The article itself uses "of" several times, and the maps use "in".)Alexjtb (talk) 13:52, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
