The Silk Road evokes imagery of riches, spices, exotic textiles, opium, and the expedition of intercontinental trade. However, The Silk Road is not a single road, but rather a network of routes extending from the Far East to Europe. This includes famous cities as Alexandria, Tyre, Samarkand, Herat, and Xanadu. The Silk Road truly revolutionized the economic and cultural trade between the East and West at the time.
It connected the great empires of China and Rome, through Persia, India, Arabia, North Africa, and Europe. This set contains eight bronze coins of the ancient Silk Road.
