Beside the various merchants, the Parthians played an important part in protection for the merchants,(while also collecting a nice fee in taxes as they passed through Parthian territory). However the Nabataeans whose capitol was the city of Petra, were perhaps the most important players in the trading game as they controlled the flow of goods between the far east and the Mediterranean.
