Robert is currently engaged in the Kushan coins project and the production of a new catalogue of the coins of the Kushan dynasty, the principle dynasty of Northwest India in the first to third centuries AD.
Beyond political history and coins this period involves major social changes and the movement of ideas: Greek art, literature, and languages penetration into India, Buddhism reaching China, the development of Sanskrit as a national language, and a transformation in the role of women in Indian Society.
