ON SOME CENTRAL ASIAN COINS OF THE HUNS

A few weathered coins, changing
hands longer than the realm
that minted them, gives us
the names and faces of the
horselords of windswept steppes
briefly made lords of cities, long
since tumbled into hills of sand,
and adherents of alien gods,
whose followers knew not
their strange names.
