The silk roads
During the Hellenistic era, the three major trade routes were the Silk Road, which connected Europe and Asia facilitating the exchange of silk, spices, and other goods; the Maritime Spice Route, which linked the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean, allowing for the trade of spices and luxury items; and the Royal Road, established by the Persian Empire, which facilitated overland trade and communication across its vast territories. These routes significantly contributed to cultural exchange and economic prosperity in the Hellenistic world.
Some modern roads follow the path of Roman Roads. After the end of the Roman civilization, the stone paving of the Roman Roads was not replicated. However, some Roman Roads remained important trade routes in the Middle Ages and followed trade itineraries which are still used today.

A vast network of roads and trade routes
The land routes were supplemented by sea routes which extended from the Red Sea to East Africa, India, China, and Southeast Asia. In the late Middle Ages, transcontinental trade over the land routes of the Silk Road declined as sea trade increased.
Well, first of all, in the silk road they used it as trade routes and they had to make a road in the ground.
Both the Silk Roads and the Indian Ocean trade routes were crucial for the exchange of goods, culture, and ideas, but the Indian Ocean trade routes had a more lasting historical impact due to their role in connecting diverse civilizations across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. The Indian Ocean facilitated the spread of religions like Islam and Buddhism, as well as innovations in navigation and maritime technology. Additionally, the trade network helped establish long-term economic ties and cultural exchanges that shaped societies and influenced global trade patterns well into the modern era. In contrast, while the Silk Roads were vital for land-based trade, their impact was more regionally concentrated and less enduring over time.
