Abstract

In 1786, a chance discovery of Roman coins in an agricultural field in south India provided the first tangible hints to connections between India and the Mediterranean region in antiquity (Turner 1989: 1, 71). In an interesting coincidence, as these ancient ties with the West were being recorded, new associations were being simultaneously forged with contemporary European trading companies in then undivided India. This situation depicts the long history of trade and communication between India and Europe.
