From Richard Hooker's World Cultures Site.
The Gupta Empire in India lasted from about 320-550 when military leaders and kings Chandragupta I (c. 319-335), Samudragupta (c. 335-376), and Chandragupta II (c. 376-415) brought together northern India. The period is called the "golden age" because of the relative peace, law and order, and cultural achievements, again, in northern India.
