^The Silk Road was a network of trade routes between Asia and Europe connecting Chang-an, China with Antioch, Syria and other points. Silk first appeared in Rome in about 1 AD. It stopped serving as a shipping route for silk in around 1400. With extremely rare exceptions such as Marco Polo, no one travelled down the entire length of the silk road. Instead traders moved products in a bucket brigade fashion from China to the West.
The haydays of the Silk Road correspond with that of the Byzantine Empire in its west end, Sasanid Period to Il Khanid Period in the Nile-Oxus section and Three Kingdoms to Yuan Dynasty in the Sinitic zone in its east end. Besides the continental Silk Road, historians also talk of a "Porcelain Route" or "Silk Route" across the Indian Ocean.
^
^In its hayday, the Silk Road sustained an international culture that strung together groups as diverse as the Magyars, Armenians and the Chinese. Under its strong integrating dynamics on the one hand and the impacts of change it transmitted on the other, tribal societies previously living in isolation along the Silk Road or pastoralists who were of barbarian cultural development were drawn to the riches and opportunities of the civilizations connected by the Silk Road, taking on the trades of maurauders or mercenaries. Many barbarian tribes became skilled warriors able to conquer rich cities and fertile lands, and forge strong military empires.
