The legendary overland silk road was not the only way to reach Asia
for ancient travelers from the Mediterranean. During the Roman
Empire's heyday, equally important maritime routes reached from the
Egyptian Red Sea across the Indian Ocean. The ancient city of
Berenike, located approximately 500 miles south of today's Suez
Canal, was a significant port among these conduits. In this book,
Steven E. Sidebotham, the archaeologist who excavated Berenike,
uncovers the role the city played in the regional, local, and
"global" economies during the eight centuries of its existence.
Sidebotham analyzes many of the artifacts, botanical and faunal
remains, and hundreds of the texts he and his team found in
excavations, providing a profoundly intimate glimpse of the people
who lived, worked, and died in this emporium between the classical
Mediterranean world and Asia.
