Trans regional Trade: the Silk Road: 600 BCE - 600 CE Second-Wave Civilizations

The Silk Road was a trans-regional trade route in Eurasia between 600 BCE and 600 CE.

It was named for the lucrative Chinese silk trade that connected the East and West.

The route extended from China, India, and Persia, to the Mediterranean Sea and Northern Europe.

Merchants from all over the world traveled the Silk Road to exchange goods, ideas, and culture.

Many second-wave civilizations, such as the Greeks, Romans, and Chinese, took advantage of the Silk Road for trade and cultural diffusion.

Goods such as silk, spices, ivory, and gems were traded along the Silk Road, and these commodities helped to create wealth for the civilizations involved.

The Silk Road also helped to spread religious and philosophical ideas, such as Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, and Christianity.
