ancient trade route
Historic commerce path
An ancient trade route is a historical path or network along which goods, ideas, and cultures moved between distant regions.
The Silk Road connecting China to the Mediterranean is the most famous example.
These routes shaped civilizations through commerce and cultural exchange: Spices traveled ancient trade routes from Asia to Europe.
The phrase often evokes romanticized images of camel caravans and merchant ships.
