Silk Road Routes between China and Europe by Odyssey Publications
Made famous in the West by the Venetian adventurer Marco Polo, the ancient Silk Road spanned one-quarter of the circumference of the Earth. The network developed over many centuries, and as trading patterns shifted, cities rose and fell in importance. In its heyday, it stretched from Luoyang and Xian in China, through Central Asia to Istanbul and Rome. For this 2nd Edition, a number of important trade routes dating to more recent centuries are shown, with four detailed maps of the Silk Roads arteries supplemented by 33 color photographs and historical notes on key places and notable people.
