This episode delves into the fascinating history of the Indo-Roman maritime trade routes, a period of intense commercial exchange between the Roman Empire and the Indian subcontinent, flourishing for centuries around the turn of the Common Era. It highlights how the discovery of monsoon winds transformed the Indian Ocean into a vital highway, enabling a lucrative trade in exotic goods like pepper, pearls, and gemstones from India to Rome, and in return, Roman gold and silver. The episode explores the mechanics of this trade, the types of ships involved, the daily life of sailors and merchants, and the profound cultural and economic impacts, including the exchange of ideas and religions, and how this early form of globalization shaped both civilizations until its decline in the 3rd and 4th centuries CE.
