Empires Of Ancient Eurasia by Craig G. Benjamin
The First Silk Roads Era, 100 BCE–250 CE
A comparative history of the first Silk Roads era (c. 100 BCE–250 CE), tracing how Han China, Rome, Parthia, and the Kushans were linked by networks of trade, diplomacy, and warfare across steppe and oasis corridors. It highlights the roles of nomads, merchants, and states in moving goods, technologies, and ideas—including the spread of Buddhism—while examining taxation, infrastructure, and frontier dynamics. The narrative concludes with the systemic stresses, political upheavals, and possible pandemics that fractured this early period of Eurasian integration.
