Note: I do not know what source was used for info in this "Expansion of the Guptas" map, nor whom the original author is. The map covers the years after 300 AD, but shows the placement of kingdoms which were conquered by the rising Gupta. Thus they would most likely have been in existance in 300 AD. Some of these kingdoms can be verified thru their Wikipedia articles, others have little or no info currently available.
