What road connected ancient china with the roman empire and later empires east and west?
silk road The trade routes that connected China to Rome and other parts of Europe were collectively called "the Silk Road" after one of the most valuable products that came from China along those trade routes. The German terms "Seidenstraße" and "Seidenstraßen"- 'the Silk Road(s)' or 'Silk Route(s) were first used in 1877 by a German geographer, Baron Ferdinand von Richtofen, who made several expeditions to China. The English term "The Silk Road" has come into general use but it is something of a misnomer; there was not just one route, rather there were several routes that might combine portions of land routes and water routes. Also, they incorporated trade routes to other areas of Asia including Southeast Asia and the "Spice Islands" in the area we now know as Indonesia. Usually these routes passed through other important trade cities along the way so they were not just trade between China and Europe; they traded goods all along the way.
Is Africa part of the Silk Road?
No Africa is not a part of Silk Road, Pakistan is part of Silk Road ----- There were parts of the Silk Road that went through Africa. The Silk Road was not actually a road, but a network of transportation routes running from southern China, and other areas in the East, to Europe. The land routes went through central Asia and crossed Persia and Turkey. But there were sea routes, and one of these went around India and to the Red Sea, where one possible route was to cross to the Nile, travel down the Nile to the Mediterranean Sea, and cross to Europe from there. The sea routes became more important whenever the land routes were unsafe. The Silk Road was also not just for silk, but for spices, and some of these came from farther south in Africa, so some branches of the Silk Road went there. There were also branches to Indonesia. There is a link below to an article with a map showing different Silk Road routes.
