the Puranic lists of 30 kings, and gives the following regnal dates: Towards a Mid-Chronology Apart from the two traditional views (long and short chronologies) there is another kind of analysis pointing out to a "Mid-Chronology", as it was already proposed by Dr. Dehejia and others, and particularly most recently by Shailendra Bhandare, who regards Satavahana's rule extended more than three centuries (c. 150 BCE to 250 CE) with the flourish of trans-national trade, urbanism and monumental architecture in South India. Bhandare regards Simuka to have ruled since around 160-150 BCE and that this date would still fit in well with Pargiter's 460 years to the Satavahanas, as it would fix the end of the dynasty around 300 CE, not too far from the mid-3rd century as consensus approximately lies. Regarding Siri Satakani and his wife Naganika, Bhandhare considers their rule to have been somewhere around 110 +/- 20 BCE. Bhandare also suggests the following sequence of reigns, based on his analysis of Satavahana coinage: Gautamiputa Satakani (ca. 60-85 CE) Vasithiputa Siri Pulumayi (ca. 85-125 CE) Vasithiputa Siri Satakani (ca. 125-152 CE) Vasithiputa Siva Siri Pulumayi (ca. 152-160 CE) Vasithiputa Siri Khada Satakani (ca. 160-165 CE) Vasithiputa Vijaya Satakani (ca. 165-170 CE) Siri Yaña Satakani (ca. 170-200 CE) Gotamiputa Siri Cada (ca. 200-215 CE) Gotamiputa Siri Vijaya Satakani (ca. 215-225 CE) On the other hand, based to a large degree on Shailendra Bhandare's work, with slight corrections, Andrew Ollett (2017) mentions the following reigns for the whole Satavahana dynasty: Vasisthiputra Sri Chimuka Satavahana (ca. 120-96 BCE) Krsna (ca. 96-88 BCE) Sri Satakarni (ca. 88-42 BCE) Sakti Mantalaka Sundara Gautamiputra Siva Satakarni (?-60 CE) Gautamiputra Sri Satakarni (ca. 60-84 CE) Vasisthiputra Sri Pulumavi (ca. 84-119 CE) Vasisthiputra Sri Satakarni (ca. 119-148 CE) Vasisthiputra Sivasri Pulumavi (ca. 148-156 CE) Vasisthiputra Sriskanda Satakarni (ca. 156-170 CE) Gautamiputra Sriyajña Satakarni (ca. 171-199 CE) Gautamiputra Srivijaya Satakarni (ca. 200-205 CE) Vasisthiputra Sricanda Satakarni (ca. 206-220 CE) Mathariputra Sri Pulumavi (ca. 220-230 CE) See also Magadha History of India History of Hinduism List of Indian monarchs List of wars involving India References Citations Sources External links States and territories disestablished in the 3rd century Empires and kingdoms of India History of Andhra Pradesh History of Telangana History of Maharashtra History of Amaravati
