who were the romans and when they come in India.
Answers
Answer
The best archeological record of Roman presence can be found in southern India, specifically at Arikamedu. Arikamedu was a Tamil fishing village which was formerly a major Chola port dedicated to bead making and trading with Roman traders. It flourished for centuries until the Romans left in the 5th century CE.
The Romans are the people who originated from the city of Rome in modern day Italy. Rome was the centre of the Roman Empire – the lands controlled by the Romans, which included parts of Europe (including Gaul (France), Greece and Spain), parts of North Africa and parts of the Middle East.
The overland caravans would gain more convenient access into India after the expansion of the Kushans into northern India during the 1st century CE, and then down the Ganges Valley in the early 2nd century.
