“In the peace and stability of the Roman empire, trade and commerce flourished, supplying a demand from wealthy Roman citizens for the luxuries of other cultures and continents. Furs and amber were imported from the barbarian north, Africa yielded up ivory, gold, spices and wild animals for the amphitheatres, and from the sub-continent of India came the fabulous products of the exotic orient.”
