Coles THE SILK ROAD BANKERS: How Central Asian Merchants Financed the Ancient World at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Long before modern banks, credit cards, and international finance, merchants were already finding sophisticated ways to move money across enormous distances. The Silk Road Bankers uncovers the financial world that grew along the Silk Road, where Central Asian traders helped make long-distance commerce possible through credit, partnerships, trusted networks, and ingenious methods of payment.
Beyond the caravans and famous trading cities was a financial system built on relationships. Merchants had to trust partners they might never meet, settle debts across distant markets, and protect wealth while moving goods through some of the most challenging landscapes in the ancient world. Their success helped connect communities from Central Asia to Persia, India, China, and beyond.
This book brings that lesser-known side of Silk Road history into view, showing that the ancient world was connected not only by goods and ideas, but also by money, trust, and financial ingenuity.
