Gold coins of Emperor Chandragupta l, the first Emperor of India to depict his wife, Empress Kumaradevi, a Licchavi princess on his coin. 319 CE.

He was the first sovereign of the dynasty(From Maharaja to Maharajadhipati) & this is attributed to this powerful marital alliance!

On this day, April 23, in 1616, three great authors left the visible world - Cervantes, Shakespeare and De la Vega. Coincidence or not, all three leave behind real literature. Their books should be read and re-read because there is always more to learn from them.
