    Answer:

    A "Golden Age" is a period of time when the arts and the economy of an area is at its peak and there is peace and prosperity. The prosperity of the Gupta Empire is indicated by the discovery of gold and silver coins issued by the Gupta rulers. The Chinese traveller Fa-Hein who visited India during the Gupta rule writes that the people did not lock their houses as there was no fear of thieves. The people enjoyed a high standard of living. The main occupations were agriculture, trade and industry. Domestic and foreign trade flourished. Items like pearls, ivory, textiles and spices were exported. Agriculture thrived in the empire and was the main source of revenue. The king promoted agriculture by providing irrigation facilities to the farmers.
