Summary, etc. Though Telangana now happens to be the youngest and 29th state in India, it had been a distinct entity from ancient times. There were Greek references, to Asmakajanapada and Telangana by Megasthenese, Arrian, Pliny the Elder and Ptolemy. Ptolemy's Triglyphon and Trilinga corresponded to Telangana. First major family to rule this region was Asmakajanapada and it was succeeded successively by Nanda and Maurya dynasties. Most illustrious dynasty to rule this region next was Satavahana and their rule commenced in the later part of first century B.C. Post-Mauryan and Pre- Satavahana history of the Deccan which lasted about two hundred years is shrouded in darkness. Inscriptions and coins of that period reveal certain facts. After the disintegration of the Mauryan Empire some petty kings or local chieftains seemed to have assumed power in this region. Names of kings such as Gobhada, Narana, Kamvayasa, Sirivayasa and Samagopa have come to light from the coins found at Kotalingala in Telangana region. Coins proved that the founder and the first king of Satavahana dynasty was Chimuka Satavahana and he succeeded the local king Samagopa. It came to be known that Chimuka was an official with the title Maharathi before he became a king. This book describes the coins of the Post-Mauryan and pre- Satavahana found in Telangana and it is an effort to bring to light the history of that era.
