The period of sangam literature is still disputed because, the three important epics of that period, Silappathigaram as well as the Dipavamsa and Mahavamsa confirms that Gajabhagu II of Sri Lanka and Cheran Senguttuvan of the Chera dynasty were contemporaries. Also the coins issued by the Roman Emperor of 1st century are found in the various places of Tamil Nadu in large quantity. Moreover, the Greek authors like Magasthenes, Strabo and Pliny had mentioned about the commercial contacts between the West and the South India.
