Background

The Mauryan empire of ancient India is an epochal moment in Indian history. Founded by Chandragupta Maurya after the overthrow of the Nanda dynasty ruler Dhana Nanda (Augrasainya), the empire reached its zenith under his grandson Ashoka (Ashoka the Great), spanning from Afghanistan, to the eastern borders of India, and all the way to the South to the modern state of Karnataka. Taken together, the Mauryan empire’s geographical coverage at Chandragupta’s time was greater than the combined approximate size of modern Iraq, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Greece, Macedonia. And it became even larger during his grandson’s time.
