Dinasti Satawahana: Perbedaan antara revisi

Koin Satavahana menampilkan beragam simbol tradisional, seperti gajah, singa, kuda, dan chaitya ([[stupa]]), serta "simbol [[Ujjain]]", Ka bersilang dengan empat lingkaran di ujungnya. Kaisar Ujjayini dalam legenda, yaitu [[Vikramditiya]], yang pada namanya [[Vikram Samvat]] terinisiasi kemungkinan adalah Satakarni II, seorang kaisar Satavahana karena simbol Ujjayini juga muncul di koin Satavahana.

The use of the names "Andhra" and "Andhra-Jatiya" in the Puranas has led some scholars, such as [[E. J. Rapson]] and [[R. G. Bhandarkar|R.G Bhandarkar]], to believe that the dynasty originated in the eastern Deccan region (the historic [[Andhra in Indian epic literature|Andhra]] region, present-day [[Andhra Pradesh]] and [[Telangana]]).{{sfn|Sinopoli|2001|p=167}}<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=U-p8Zg62USYC|title=Indian Heritage and Culture|last1=Staff|first1=Rao P.

R. Reddy, S. Reddy, and Shankar R. Goyal theorised that Kotlingala was the original home of the Satavahanas. [[Ajay Mitra Shastri]] stated that the finding of the coins at Kotilingala give "a clear pointer to the region where we have to locate the original center of the Satavahana political authority."<ref name="auto4">Shastri, Ajay Mitra.
