A ruler of this dynasty asked a foreign king for figs, wine, and a sophist in a treaty exchange. This dynasty’s final ruler was assassinated by his general Pushyamitra, leading to the rise of the Shunga dynasty. This dynasty’s founder defeated (-5[1])Seleucus I’s (“seh-LOO-kiss the first’s”) invasion and was later visited by Megasthenes (“meh-GAS-thuh-neez”). This empire’s strong central government was advised by Chanakya, the author of the political treatise, the Arthashastra (“AHR-tuh-SHAS-truh”). Another ruler of this dynasty created rock edicts and lion-topped columns after converting to Buddhism in the wake of the carnage of the Kalinga War. For 10 points, name this ancient Indian dynasty (10[1])ruled by Chandragupta and Ashoka. ■END■
