Traces remain of the presence of the Kushans in the area of Bactria.

Archaeological structures are known in Takht-I-Sangin, and Surkh Kotal (a monumental temple).

The earliest documented ruler, and the first one to proclaim himself as a Kushan ruler, s Heraios.

He calls himself a "tyrant" on his coins, and also exhibits skull deformation.

He may have been an ally of the Greeks, and he shared the same style of coinage.

Heraios may have been the father of the first Kushan emperor Kujula Kadphises.
