The Romano-Tamil Culture arose in Tamilakam (known as Damirica to the Romans) during the Roman Empire’s contact with Tamil Nadu, beginning around the 1st century BCE and lasting through the 3rd century CE. It developed as a fusion of imported Roman culture with the indigenous Tamil language, customs, and traditions, creating a distinct cultural synthesis along the ancient Chera and Chola coasts. A Temple dedicated to the Roman Emperor Augustus located in Muziris (Modern day Kerala) was even mentioned in The Periplus of the Erythraean Sea [1]
Scholars such as R. Nagaswamy believe that during the 1st to 3rd centuries CE, Roman influence fostered an active Romano-Tamil culture in Tamilakam. This cultural synthesis is evidenced by extensive finds of Roman coins, amphorae, and Roman-style artifacts in locations such as Arikamedu (Poduke Emporion) , Karur, and Kaveripoompattinam (Kaberis Emporion) and by references in Tamil literature to Roman goods, chariots, and guards.[1]
