TheLawMap Olympics Special Focus on Ancient Legal Code - Legal system of the Gupta Empire in INDIA (319 - 515 AD), commonly known as the 'Golden Age' in Indian history: A promotion of free enterprise promulgating in the abolition of passports or travel documents, free universal healthcare for the masses administered through free hospitals in major cities and the abolition of the death penalty, which was replaced by fines. Persistent robbers still ran the risk of losing their hands at the hands of imperial administrators.
