Samenvatting
Since Antiquity, the ‘Silk Road’ was a network for commercial and cultural exchange, criss-crossing the Asian continent, connecting eastern and south-eastern Asia to the Mediterranean world via maritime and overland routes. Goods travelled in both directions; glass is an excellent example for a trade-good that arrived in the East from the West.
