Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book unveils a fascinating first-hand account of trade and exploration in the ancient world, focusing on the bustling maritime routes of the Erythraean Sea ââ â encompassing the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, and the Indian Ocean. Dating back to the first century AD, the author, a merchant himself, meticulously details the ports, market towns, and diverse peoples encountered on his voyages. This rare glimpse into a pivotal moment in history reveals the intricate network of commerce that connected the Roman Empire, Parthia, India, and China. The author paints a vivid picture of the goods exchanged ââ â from spices and precious stones to textiles and slaves ââ â and the political and cultural dynamics that shaped these interactions. Through the author's keen observations, we witness the ebb and flow of power as Rome's growing appetite for Eastern luxuries disrupts age-old trade routes and triggers a shift in economic dominance. This book illuminates not just the mechanics of ancient trade, but also the complex human stories woven into its fabric. Ultimately, this work offers a profound understanding of how trade has shaped the world, reminding us that the desire for exotic goods and the quest for new markets have been driving forces in human history for millennia. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330397671_0
