Incense Route
The Incense trade route or the Incense Road of Antiquity (see also the spice trade) comprised a network of major ancient land and sea trading routes linking the Mediterranean world with Eastern and Southern sources of incense, spices and other luxury goods, stretching from Mediterranean ports across the Levant and Egypt through Northeastern Africa and Arabia to India and beyond. The incense land trade from South Arabia to the Mediterranean flourished between roughly the 7th century BCE to the 2nd century CE.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = UNESCO )〕 The Incense Route served as a channel for trading of goods such as Arabian frankincense and myrrh;〔 Indian spices, precious stones, pearls, ebony, silk and fine textiles;〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Embassy of the Republic of Yemen, Berlin )〕 and the Horn of African rare woods, feathers, animal skins and gold.〔
