TY - GEN AB - 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. AU - Rājangurukkaḷ, CN - Oxford Scholarship Online CN - HF3788.R65 DO - 10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199460854 DO - doi ET - First edition.
