Question

Name some important seaports of the Satavahana period.

Answer 1

The Satvahanas had a deep rooted control over the Indian Sea coast and consequently, a firm control over the connected trade.

The trade was boosted during the period. It gave strong grounds to both the internal as well as external trade.

The trade with the other countries, as such the external trade was carried out through some famous sea ports as the dynasty was majorly spread across the Deccan and costal region of India, that being present day Karnatka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Gujarat.

These famous ports were Broach, Sopara and Kalyan, and Burkacha is another famously named port of those time.
