The road was a network of ancient trade routes that were traveled throughout Asia. Silk began to be traded during the Han Dynasty, which was from about 207 BCE – 220 CE. Marco Polo (1254-1324) traveled farther into China and Mongolia than others during a 24 year trip. The term was first used by the German Ferdinand von Richthofen, who made seven expeditions to China from 1868 to 1872.
