Empires or kingdoms located in the east, from the Greek and Roman perspective. The contraction of the Seleukid empire from its height of power in the 3rd c. BC led to a host of successor states, notably Baktria, Persis, Parthia, Indo-Parthians, Elymaians and Sasanians, Scythians, and Kushan (Yueh Chi). Many sub-kingdoms' histories remain unclear and much of the historical evidence is dependent on the numismatic record.

Davisson's Auction 43 #181 (Charles the Bald). Simon Coupland: Unlike the Christiana religio coins of Charles the Bald, bearing a temple on the reverse, which survive in large numbers and were struck at several mints, these monogram Christiana religio coins in the name of a king Charles are known in small numbers and were probably the product of a single mint. The hoard evidence indicates that they are coins of Charles the Simple, minted in the early tenth century, and suggests that they may well have been minted at Langres. They have namely turned up in just two hoards, Langres 1880, which contained no fewer than seven specimens alongside a GDR denier of Langres itself, and Neufchâteau 2008, discovered less than 60 km from Langres.
