The Naga dynasty ruled parts of north-central India during the 3rd and the 4th centuries, after the decline of the Kushan Empire and before the rise of the Gupta Empire. Its capital was located at Padmavati, which is identified with modern Pawaya in Madhya Pradesh. Modern historians identify it with the family that is called Bharashiva
The various Kings of the Nagas of Narwar issued coins of 1, 1/2 and 1/4 kakini, from 5-15 mm in size and all issued in bronze. Designs were humped bull facing left, wheel peacock, trident and various other designs. The Nagas of Narwar occupied the region of Padmavati, Kantipuri, Mathura and Vidisha around the period of 200-340 CE. In this period there was substantial trade between India and Rome in spices, fabric and gold. Text used was in the Brahmi script of an Early Prakrit language.
