The empire ruled by Ashoka was the Maurya Empire. Ashoka, who reigned from approximately 268 to 232 BCE, is best known for his role in spreading Buddhism and for promoting non-violence and religious tolerance throughout his vast empire, which included much of the Indian subcontinent. His edicts, inscribed on pillars and rocks, reflect his commitment to these principles. The Maurya Empire is often considered one of the largest empires in ancient India.
