Inaccurate picture caption. Caption claims that the fresco in question shows "Roman Influence" despite looking like other Central Asian Buddhist artwork. No source for claims of Roman Influence. I have added a [citation needed] tag to this claim. If the claim is not supported within a few days, I will remove the claim of Roman Influence. -11/20/11, The Crazed Wiki Bandit — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.49.105.27 (talk) 19:36, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No citation was provided for the inaccurate picture caption, therefore it has been removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.49.105.27 (talk) 02:25, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
