Spice Market
Along the Silk Road, from exotic climbs, to you.Agriculture was the lifeblood of those outside the cities. Within the urban centres, however, the economy was driven by the market and the merchant. The marketplace was a bustling hub of craftsmen plying and selling their trades; from blacksmiths to clothmakers, all earning a living and feeding the city's wealth. The markets also sold imported goods from colourful lands in the Far East, and this business was done by the merchant. Interestingly, the merchant was looked down upon by most of Sassanid Zoroastrian society, as he did not fit neatly into one of the three ideals of their religion's societal structure. The duty of procuring far off trade, then, often fell to Sogdians, Christians and ex-prisoners of war, settled in Persia and with everything to gain.
