520			_aThis book examines the maritime trade networks of peninsular India during the Early Historic period (c. 300 BCE–300 CE). Drawing on archaeological excavations, inscriptions, numismatic evidence, ceramics, and literary sources, K. Rajan analyzes the emergence of ports, trade routes, merchant communities, and overseas commercial links with the Mediterranean, the Roman world, Sri Lanka, and Southeast Asia. The study highlights the role of coastal settlements, inland exchange networks, and material culture in shaping the economic and cultural history of South India.
