Travel was dangerous because the Roman army no longer existed to protect travelers and it took months/years to make a round trip to and from Europe to Asia. Merchants were attacked for their goods on the road, weather conditions halted travel or often killed people because of floods and snowstorms, the roads were not kept up and accidents happened going over mountain passes and on cliffs, and the cost finally kept merchants from going after goods.
