The book challenges the long-held centrality of the Roman factor in the South Asian economy by locating the Indo-Sasanian interactions in long distance economic networks with trade as a central feature. It considers the role and influence of traders as an understudied group affecting the contribution of the Indian economy to the world system. Amidst rapidly changing political landscapes, traders of Indian and Sasanian origins are studied as conscious political beings, who formed ties with varieties of polities and religious communities to secure their commercial interests. In addition, their commercial interactions with their Sogdian (Central Asia) and Aksumite (East Africa) counterparts are analyzed. The book also considers the nature of trade routes and the specific connections between mercantile and religious networks, including patterns of construction of religious shrines and temples along trade routes. Integrating epigraphic, numismatic, literary and archaeological evidence, this book moves away from a marginal treatment of the Indo-Sasanian trade in Indian history, and demonstrates how regional economic history must address a plurality of causes, actors, and processes in its assessment of the regional economy. The book will be of interest to students and academics of Indian economic history, as well as the ancient economies of South Asia more broadly. 001482808 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on November 10, 2023). 001482808 651_0 $$aSouth Asia$$xCommerce$$xHistory$$yTo 1500. 001482808 651_0 $$aSouth Asia$$xEconomic conditions$$xHistory. 001482808 651_6 $$aAsie méridionale$$xConditions économiques. 001482808 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001482808 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3031435923$$z9783031435928$$w(OCoLC)1392340581 001482808 830_0 $$aPalgrave studies in ancient economies. 001482808 852__ $$bebk 001482808 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-43593-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001482808 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1482808$$pGLOBAL_SET 001482808 980__ $$aBIB 001482808 980__ $$aEBOOK 001482808 982__ $$aEbook 001482808 983__ $$aOnline 001482808 994__ $$a92$$bISE
