Himyar (Imperator Augustus) Level 3

Eastern Bazaar

In all the hubbub, the world is there for a handful of gold.

If shrines and temples are the soul of a human settlement, then its markets, bazaars and caravanserai are its stomach and heart. Commerce is essential to town and urban life, as well as continued prosperity and growth. Trade in goods and services makes all who take part richer, as long as it is honest. Purpose-built caravanserai show the importance of trade and the flow of goods and money. Great courtyards, surrounded by identical alcove-like stalls, were designed to accommodate travelling merchants and trade caravans. They acted as waypoints along routes like the Silk Road and the Royal Road, re-established by Darius the Great in Asia Minor. They provided shelter, water and fodder for pack animals, and secure places to conduct business.
