What inference can you make from study the map about Mauryan dynasty? and what were the result of these interactions?

From studying the map, I can see that there are many cities in the Mauryan dynasty. Some cities are close to another and some are further apart to another. People trade to another places from city to city. They have to take overland routes from one city to another city.

This tells me that the traders faced many dangers along the road when they traveled because it is obvious that overland travels were both difficult and dangerous as they had to follow rough paths through jungles that were inhabited by wild animals and fierce tribes.

This map also tells me that people of the Indus Valley Civilisation and Mesopotamia interacted with each other.

As a result of the interactions between the Indus people and the Mesopotamians, some archaeologists think that the Indus people might have borrowed the idea of using seals to mark their goods from the Mesopotamians, an older civilisation. This is because the seals were found to be similar.
