Mimisal (Tamil: மிமிசல்) is a coastal village in the Avadaiyarkoil revenue block of Pudukkottai district,[1] Tamil Nadu, India
Karukkakurichi, the place of find of a treasure trove of more than 500 imperial Roman gold and silver coins, the largest ever recorded from a single hoard deserves notice in the context of the early history of the district. This place lies in Alangudi taluk, with in a short distance north of Aranthangi and the adjoining old ports of Mimisal and Saliyur in the same area and Tondi further south. The site of find would mark an important Indo-Roman trading centre, through which the inland trade route ran between the western and eastern ports during that time.[2]
