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 South East Asia increasingly
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. The Indian Ocean Trade in Antiquity 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. This volume
will be of interest not only to academics and students of
antiquity, but also to scholars working on later periods of Indian
Ocean history who will find this work a valuable resource.
