The decline of the Mauryan Empire in 232 BC paved a way for the autonomy of a number of different kingdoms and aristocratic with ‘tribal states’ in northern and central India. Few important civic centers emerged like Ujjain, Vidisa, and Eran. They remained powerful under the formal rule of the Sungas.

But one thing is very interesting to notice is that the coins of these civic states were very distinctive in their own style and completely different from Sunga coinage. This difference in the coinage signifies that Ujjain and Eran were independent to some extent and they were only a titular overlordship by Sungas.
