Trade Caravan

"We bring fine goods from faraway lands. Pray, what is it you seek?"

Spices were highly valued commodities, both for local consumption and trade with other peoples. Trade along what would become the Silk and Spice Roads began almost at the start of civilisation with the rise of farming and trade amongst Neolithic communities. It was not until Arab and Phoenician traders began trading spices and other luxury goods, such as gold, precious stones, silks and fine textiles, that fixed routes and markets began to appear. As well as spices to flavour foods, other items were traded, including those considered essential for religious rites, such as frankincense - tree resin which gives off a strong aroma when burned. Myrrh was also highly valued for its uses as a medicine and for mummification.
