caravan city
A caravan city is a city located on and deriving its prosperity from its location on a major trans-desert trade route.〔"Late Antinquity" by Richard Lim in ''The Edinburgh Companion to Ancient Greece and Rome''. Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2010, p. 115.〕 The term is believed to have been coined by the great scholar of antiquity, Michael Rostovtzeff, for his work ''O Blijnem Vostoke'', published in English for the first time by the Clarendon Press in 1932 as ''Caravan Cities''. The English translation of the work dealt principally with Petra, Jerash, Palmyra and Dura in the "near east", after Rhodes, Cyprus and Mycenaean Greece were removed from the translation as not being caravan cities.〔Rostovtzeff, M. (1932) ''Caravan Cities''. Translated by D. & T. Talbot Rice. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1932, p. v.〕
Other caravan cities include Aroer〔(Anatomy of a Caravan City: Aroer on the South Arabian Trade Route ) by Yifat Thareani-Sussely. Israel Antiquities Authority, 2013.〕 in Jordan, Oualata in Mauritania, Palmyra〔(Palmyra as a Caravan City ) Albert E. Dien, Walter Chapin Simpson Centre for the Humanities, Washington University, 2013. Retrieved 27 October 2013. (Archived here. )〕 and Damascus in Syria, and Samarkand in Uzbekistan.
