| Nagas of Narwar Nine different Naga Kings were the offshoot of the Gupta Empire, and ruled an area in the Northern India which roughly corresponded to the later areas of Bharatpur, Dholpur, Gwalior and a part of Bhundelkhand. The Nagas issued a small number of bronze coins of various denominations (1, 1/2 and 1/4 kakini), all are relatively scarce. The chronology of Nagas is quite unknown - Ganapati is certainly known to have ruled around 340 AD, the dates of reigns of others Nagas are virtually unknown. The tiny bronze kakinis, of shape and size of a contemporary Roman AE4 are thought to have been inspired by the coinage of the Romans, with whom India had a lot of trade at the time. | ||

| The Gupta Empire and its successors The origins of the Guptas are shrouded in obscurity. The Chinese traveller I-tsing provides the first evidence of the Gupta kingdom in Magadha. He came to India in 672 CE and heard of 'Maharaja Sri-Gupta' who built a temple for Chinese pilgrims near Mrigasikhavana. I-tsing gives the date for this event merely as '500 years before'. This does not match with other sources and hence we can assume that I-tsing's computation was a mere guess. The early Gupta drachmas were derived from the earlier coins of Kshatrapas (obverse was practically unchanged, while the mountain on reverse was replaced with the image of Garuda) | ||
