Re: Whats numidia and armenia
No, the Bactrians (natives) were a central asian people. The Greeks were there, the native bactrians were there, indians and indo-greeks were there (though they were concentrated in india, when the bactrians conquered it) and sakae were also there. The administration was Greek/Bactrian (frequently intermarried). The language was certainly Greek.

Yeah, sorry. The kingdom itself was called Bactria though.
