Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - For over fifteen centuries, the Silk Road network connected East and West through overland routes traversing deserts, mountain passes, and steppe grasslands. More than a single path, this complex system of trade corridors facilitated exchange of good…s, ideas, religions, and technologies that shaped civilizations from China to the Mediterranean. This history examines how commercial networks created unprecedented cultural interaction across Eurasia.Drawing on archaeological findings, merchant accounts, diplomatic records, and material evidence, the narrative traces the Silk Road's evolution through distinct periods. Han Dynasty China sought western horses and sought to counter nomadic threats, establishing trade relationships that brought silk westward. Roman demand for luxury textiles created profitable commerce. Sasanian Persia controlled central routes, taxing caravans and mediating exchange. Tang Dynasty China presided over the network's golden age, when goods, pilgrims, and diplomatic missions traveled between Chang'an and distant kingdoms.The book explores practical realities of long-distance trade. Caravanserais provided rest stops in hostile terrain. Merchants navigated multiple currency systems, languages, and political jurisdictions. Nomadic peoples both threatened and facilitated commerce, demanding tribute while offering protection. Oasis cities like Samarkand and Bukhara became cosmopolitan centers where diverse populations interacted. Maritime routes complemented overland paths, connecting Indian Ocean trade to continental networks.
