He didn't discover silk, but wanted to trade for silk. They knew about it in Europe, but it was expensive and hard to get. The Silk Road was a hard dangerous trip for people.

no, the silk road was NOT covered with silk The "Silk Road" was the "road" which silk traveled from Asia to Europe.
Some Roman goods that were traded on the Silk Road were gold coins, blass and glazes, grapevines, and alfalfa. The Romans wanted the silk from China for their gold, silver, and bronze coins and their precious gems.
No the Silk Road was not smooth. The Silk road was actually a road that was used for trading. The main item traded along the Silk Road was silk that is why it is called the silk road.
