Between c.300 BCE and 300 CE, maritime trade emerged as one of the most dynamic features of the Indian economy, linking the Indian subcontinent with West Asia, the Mediterranean world, Southeast Asia, and China. The expansion of overseas commerce was facilitated by improvements in navigation, the use of monsoon winds as described in the *Periplus of the Erythraean Sea*, and the development of well-equipped ports. The western coast possessed important ports such as Bhrigukachchha (Bharuch), Sopara, Kalyan, and Muziris, while Tamralipti, Arikamedu, Kaveripattinam (Puhar), and Korkai flourished on the eastern and southern coasts.
