The Kushans have a summer capital in Bagram (known at this time as Kapisa), where the "Begram Treasure", comprising works of art from Greece to China, has been found.

Archaeological finds dating to the Begram of this period will yield a considerable amount of goods imported from the Roman Empire, in particular various types of glassware.

The Chinese historical chronicle Hou Hanshu, which covers the history of Eastern Han from 25 to 220 CE, also describes the exchange of goods between northwestern India and the Roman Empire at this time: "To the west (Tiazhu, northwestern India) communicates with Da Qin (the Roman Empire). Precious things from Da Qin can be found there, as well as fine cotton cloths, excellent wool carpets, perfumes of all sorts, sugar loaves, pepper, ginger, and black salt."
