Alexandria Eschate
Alexandria Eschate, 'Alexandria the Furthest', was a city founded by Alexander the Great in 329 BCE on the Syr Darya (Jaxartes) at the entrance to the Fergana Valley, at or near modern Khujand in Tajikistan. Intended as a frontier stronghold against the Saka nomads beyond the river, it was the north-easternmost of Alexander's foundations and later lay on routes linking Central Asia with China.
