Incense Road of Antiquity
Historians and anthropologists believe the Incense Road of Antiquity flourished between the 3rd century BCE and began to decline after the 2nd century CE. In general, the incense trade route stretched from the Mediterranean to Egypt, Arabia and on to India. Before the Greco-Romans started bypassing Incense Road, it was the main channel for trading goods of high value such as Indian spices, ebony and silk. Even rare woods from East Africa were carried along this route, as well as feathers and gold.
