The silk road has been called trans-Eurasian because it linked Europe and Asia. It linked China to the shores of the eastern Mediterranean (which were part of the Roman Empire) by crossing Central Asia. The silk could also be shipped to Europe and to the rest of the Roman Empire from these shores. It enabled the Chinese to sell silk to rich people around the Roman Empire. Silk was so popular among the rich that the Roman state introduced a law aimed at reducing the level of its purchases.
