He described India in his book ''Indika'', which is now lost but has been partially reconstructed from the writings of the later authors.

    Pliny the Elder (23 AD-79 AD) was a Roman author, a naturalist and natural philosopher, a naval and army commander of the early Roman Empire, and a friend of emperor Vespasian. Pliny wrote the encyclopedic Naturalis Historia, which became an editorial model for encyclopedias. He described India as a sink of gold.

    Claudius Ptolemy (100 AD-170 AD) was a mathematician, astronomer, geographer and astrologer. He wrote about the geography of India.

    Fahien (337 AD-422 AD) was a Chinese Buddhist monk and translator who travelled by foot from Ancient China to Ancient India, visiting many sacred Buddhist sites in Central Asia, the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia between 399-412 to acquire Buddhist texts. His journey is described in his important travelogue ''A Record of Buddhist Kingdoms, being an Account by the Chinese Monk Fahien of his Travels in India.''
