"The period from the death of Alexander the Great to the rise of the Islam (c. late
fourth century BCE to seventh century CE) saw a significant growth in economic, diplomatic
and cultural exchange between various civilisations in Africa, Europe and Asia. This
was in large part thanks to the Indian Ocean trade. Peoples living in the Roman Empire,
Parthia, India, and Southeast Asia increasing had access to exotic foreign products,
while the lands from which they derived, and the peoples inhabiting these lands, also
captured the imagination, finding expression in a number of literary and poetic works.
This book provides a range of chapters that explore the economic, political and cultural
impact of this trade on these diverse societies, written by international experts
working in the fields of Classics, Archaeology, South Asian studies, Near Eastern
studies and Art History. The three major themes of the book are the development of
this trade, how consumption and exchange impacted on societal developments, and how
the Indian Ocean trade influenced the literary creations of Graeco-Roman and Indian
authors. Academics, students, and those with a general interest in world history alike
should find this book of interest. In particular, those whose research focuses on
antiquity, as well as scholars working on later periods of Indian Ocean history, will
find this work a valuable resource"
