The Mauryan Dynasty originated in India between 323-180 BCE. According to Buddhist traditions, the ancestors of the Mauryan kings settled in a region abundant with peacocks, and thus came to be known as the "Moriyas", meaning those belonging to the place of peacocks. Another account states these ancestors built a city called Moriya-nagara, which derived its name from bricks colored like peacock necks. The document then lists sources that discuss the origins and genealogy of the Mauryan kings.

Punch-marked coins and Indo-Greek coins were important forms of currency in ancient India that provide historical and cultural insights. Punch-marked coins date from 600-200 BCE and feature irregular shapes with symbols punched into the metal. They were issued by merchant guilds and states and can explain contemporary flora, fauna, trade networks, and territorial control. Indo-Greek coins date from 200 BCE to 100 CE and were precisely die-struck in precious metals. They were produced by over 40 rulers across South Asia and Afghanistan and typically included the ruler's name and portrait with Greek or Indian religious imagery. Both coin types influenced later Indian dynasties and provide evidence of economic and cultural exchange.Botanical Archaeology_M.A. Sem. II_Material Remains.ppt

Punch Mark Coins
The Gandhara janapada, located in modern-day northwest India and Pakistan, issued punch-marked coins with a distinctive "bent-bar wheel-marked" design. While some attribute these coins to the Achaemenid Persian Empire that ruled the area, their unique design suggests coinage originated earlier in Gandhara itself. Even though Gandhara was a Persian satrapy, its coins differed radically from standard Persian coinage, implying they had a long history of local use prior to Persian rule. The bent-bar wheel design provides evidence that coinage was developed independently in India, including the Gandhara region, before later Persian and Greek influence.
KAUHOM INSCRIPTION OF SKANDAGUPTA
Skandagupta issued an inscription in 459-460 CE that was erected as a pillar at Kahom village in Deoria district, Uttar Pradesh.

It was erected by Madra, son of Rudrasoma, for the welfare of all beings and to honor the first Jain teachers. The inscription provides valuable information about the Gupta dynasty and Skandagupta's reign.
