História
Alexandria Eschate was a city founded by Alexander the Great, at the south-western end of the Fergana Valley in August 329 BC. It was the most northerly outpost of Alexander's Empire in Central Asia. Alexandria Eschate was established on the south bank of the river Jaxartes, at or close to the site of modern Khujand, in present-day Tajikistan. According to the Roman writer Curtius, Alexandria Ultima retained its Greek culture as late as 30 BC.
