Alexandria Eschate
Tajikistan, Tajikistan
Alexandria Eschate (Attic Ἀ Ἐ, Doric Ἀ Ἐ, Alexandria Eschata, "Furthest Alexandria") was a city founded by Alexander the Great, at the south-western end of the Fergana Valley (modern Tajikistan) in August 329 BC. It was the most northerly outpost of Alexander's Empire in Central Asia. Alexandria Eschate was established on the south bank of the river Jaxartes (Syr Darya), at or close to the site of modern Khujand, in present-day Tajikistan. According to the Roman writer Curtius, Alexandria Ultima retained its Greek culture as late as 30 BC.
