Rethinking classical Indo-Roman trade : political economy of eastern Mediterranean exchange relations / Rajan Gurukkal. - First edition. - 1 online resource : illustrations (black and white), maps (black and white)
Includes bibliographical references and index.
This volume is a rethinking of the classical eastern Mediterranean overseas exchange relations with the Indian sub-continent. Characterizing the nature of exchanges in detail against extant sources and theories, the book maintains that the expression, 'Indo-Roman trade' is a misnomer in historiography. It argues that the chieftains and merchants in the sub-continent had neither institutional nor technological means to indulge in contemporary overseas trade, a heavily document based enterprise. It was not necessary either.
