Rethinking classical Indo-Roman trade: political economy of Eastern Mediterranean exchange relations

Gurukkal, Rajan

India's maritime contact with eastern Mediterranean and classical Rome (c. 1st century BCE-3rd century CE) has often been celebrated as `Indo-Roman trade'-a prominent theme in Indian historiography. The author critically rethinks this exchange relation-he argues that the expression `Indo-Roman trade', when examined in the light of extant source material and theoretical insights, is a misnomer.
