Chapter 8 Outline ? Networks of Communication and Exchange, 300 b.c.e.?1100 c.e. Networks of Communication and Exchange, 300 b.c.e.?1100 c.e. I. The Silk Road Origins and Operations The Silk Road was an overland route that linked China to the Mediterranean world via Mesopotamia, Iran, and Central Asia. There were two periods of heavy use of the Silk Road: (1) 150 b.c.e.?907 c.e. and (2) the thirteenth through seventeenth centuries c.e. The origins of the Silk Road trade may be located in the occasional trading of Central Asian nomads. Regular, large-scale trade was fostered by the Chinese demand for western products (particularly horses) and by the Parthian state in northeastern Iran and its control of the markets in Mesopotamia.

The Silk Road: The Silk Road helped to cause much trade, and the spread of religion and diseases. Origins and Operations: The Silk Road helped the trading of many new imports to China and the Mediterranean. The Silk Road was an overland route that linked China to the Mediterranean world via Mesopotamia, Iran, and Central Asia. The origins of the Silk Road trade may be located in the occasional trading of Central Asian nomads. In addition to horses, China imported alfalfa, grapes, and a variety of other newcrops as well as medicinal products, metals, and precious stones.
