The attack that caused the ruin of Ai Khanoum around 145 BC was a key event of its history. This was the beginning of the so-called post-palatial period, which is often considered of short duration. The article intends to provide a general study of this last stage of the history of the city, taking into account the information already published, but also the new evidence resulting from the ongoing study of its main sanctuary (henceforth the Sanctuary). The few inhabitants of Ai Khanoum still living in the city after 145 BC reoccupied its private and public buildings and were engaged in the recovering of all the riches of the former Graeco-Bactrian capital. They exploited the stone materials, the metallic objects, the furniture and even reused the ceramics abandoned in the town. The Sanctuary remained in activity for a while, under the control of an authority who undertook maintenance operations, but the religious conceptions of the population underwent some major changes. This study also enables to review the common assumptions regarding the role played by nomadic people during this period.

公元前145年左右造成艾哈努姆（Ai Khanoum）废墟的袭击是其历史上的重要事件。这是所谓的后post期的开始，通常被认为是持续时间短的。本文旨在提供有关该城市历史的最后阶段的一般研究，既要考虑已发布的信息，又要考虑到对其主要庇护所（此后称为庇护所）进行的持续研究而得出的新证据。公元前145年后，艾·卡努姆（Ai Khanoum）的少数居民仍住在该市重新占领了它的私人和公共建筑，并从事了对前格雷奥·巴克特里安首都所有财富的追回工作。他们利用石材，金属物品，家具，甚至再利用了镇上废弃的陶瓷。在进行维护活动的当局的控制下，圣所一直处于活动状态，但是人口的宗教观念发生了一些重大变化。这项研究还可以回顾有关游牧民族在此期间扮演的角色的常见假设。
