Synopsis

This book is a Latin translation of the works of the ancient Greek historian Megasthenes. Megasthenes was an ambassador to the court of the Indian king Chandragupta Maurya in the 4th century BCE, and his accounts provide a valuable historical record of the Mauryan Empire and ancient India. Schwanbeck's translation, which includes extensive notes and commentary, offers readers a rare glimpse into the political, economic, and cultural life of ancient India.
