The use of horse archers by the Guptas is evidenced by the depictions of emperors as horse archers on Gupta coinage. The coinage of Chandragupta II, Kumaragupta I, and Prakash Aditya all show the emperors as horse archers. While there is a paucity of contemporary sources detailing the tactical operations of the Gupta army, the use of horse archers is also mentioned in the Sanskrit epic poem Raghuvaṃśa by Kalidasa.
