Synopsis

Roman objects such as coins, ceramics, metal and glass artifacts have been discovered in different parts of the Indian subcontinent. Often, ancient Indians produced coins and other objects closely resembling these foreign objects. This study provides the first-ever systematic, comprehensive and integrated collation of all these objects. Combining theoretical insights with empirical data, it investigates the reasons for the uneven distribution pattern and complex chronology of the varied types of objects in the different regions of the subcontinent. It also includes insightful analysis of the peculiar features such as slash marks and countermarks seen on some of the Roman coins found in India.
