The Silk Road has captured the public imagination and inspired museum exhibitions, coffee table books, cultural festivals, and archaeological programs over the last several decades. Beginning at the very end of the 1st millennium BC, this trade network involved Rome, China, and all of the regions in between in a vast exchange of goods, culture, and ideas for 1500 years. This presentation will outline the history of the Silk Road(s) focusing on the coins that formed an integral part of trade across Eurasia. Speaker: Douglas Mudd.
