Trade Taxes & Customs
Silk cannot flow over a broken road.The trade between Persia and China was of paramount importance to the Sassanids, with the goods travelling along the Silk Road constituting a colossal amount to the Persian economy. Defence of the caravans was key, therefore, to ensure both that trade was successful and that his Chinese trading partners were aware of how much the Shahanshah valued them. As well as caravanserai - lodgehouses and inns where weary traders could rest - the Sassanids also set up fortresses and outposts along the road to deter bandits and robbers from attempting to loot the caravans. In this way the trade routes were maintained and guarded, and the goods could flow.
