Asoka
Açoca, Asoca ou Axoca (em brami: 𑀅𑀲𑁄𑀓; Asoka; em devanágari: अशोक, IAST: Aśoka), também conhecido como Açocavardana (Açokavardhana; 304 – 232 a.C.) foi um imperador indiano da dinastia máuria que reinou entre 273 e 232 a.C. Frequentemente citado como um dos maiores imperadores da Índia, Açoca reinou sobre a maior parte do território correspondente à Índia atual depois de várias conquistas militares. Seu império estendia-se do atual Paquistão, Afeganistão e partes do Irã, a oeste, até Bengala e os atuais estados indianos de Assão, a leste, e de Maiçor, ao sul. Sua capital era em Mágada (atualmente no estado indiano de Biar). Ele converteu-se ao budismo, abandonando a tradição védica predominante, depois de testemunhar os massacres da guerra de Calinga, que ele mesmo havia iniciado devido a seu desejo de conquista.
