In the 4th–5th centuries AD the Gupta Empire’s golden age—shaped by rulers like Samudragupta and Chandragupta II, thriving trade with Rome, and rich religious and urban life—was shattered by repeated invasions by the Huns. Reliant on Roman gold and international trade, the Guptas could not withstand the sustained pressure.

The episode traces the Guptas’ rise, their ties to Roman commerce, the Hunnic invasions and attacks on monasteries, and the empire’s collapse into regional kingdoms—drawing parallels to the fall of Rome and the birth of medieval societies in India and Europe.
