Roman Empire and ancient India were not as distant as we would have expected. In fact, those two important centres of the ancient world maintained direct contacts for several centuries, approximately from the last years of the 1st century BC until at least the 4th century CE. Although it has so far been believed that these contacts were limitied to their commercial aspects, it turned out that those would had been more intense and frequent than we can imagine. In fact, archaeological discoveries that took place in the last decade in the southern and western coasts of India, suggested that the Roman presence in south India was not limited only to the commercial aspects, but was broader. It seems that the settlements of Muziris and Arikamedu, located respectively in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, were not simply trade posts, but actual settlements, with the presence of Roman soldiers stationing there and a temple dedicated to Augustus near Muziris, mentioned in an ancient Roman map. What is the truth behind all this? Did the Romans have more than "superficial" economic influence in southern India? Let's analyze it better in this video.
