This course introduces the history of the Silk Road - a complex network of trade routes that connected China with the rest of Eurasia over land and sea - and its role in fostering cultural and material exchanges between the peoples it connected. It will revisit key moments of the Silk Road in pre-modern history to understand how Eurasia was connected through vast networks of traders and caravans, and will situate temporally and geographically the main states, actors, objects, religions, and ideas that have populated the roads, oasis towns, and steppe territories constituting the Silk Road.
