IIRC we have a monopoly on banking. Trading it to 1 other civ is then a bad idea; we are giving them a chance to become tech broker.

If more civs know it; sure trade it, get the gpt and the cash.

I would not trade it before we know astronomy. The "best case" would be us knowing astronomy and banking, and giving banking for luxury resources. This would not give the other civs the opportunity to trade overseas.

If possible, I would trade luxuries from Aztecs and Zulu, including our dyes to motivate them to keep the deal. Persia should preferably pay us gpt, but get no luxuries.

Looking at the map, I conclude that all trades with Zuu and Aztecs go thru Persian sea tiles. Thus Persia declaring war on us will break all deals with Zulu and Aztecs and must be avoided.

Sell Persia saltpeter. They should be willing to pay a good price for it. And it motivates them to keep peace.

Or trade away all connected luxuries in order to prevent Persia from trying to extort.
