The Commerce And Navigation Of The Erythraean Sea: Being A Translation Of The Periplus Maris Erythraei By An Anonymous Writer, And Of Arrian's Account

The Commerce and Navigation of the Erythraean Sea is a classic work of ancient geography and maritime history. The book includes two important texts from the Hellenistic and Roman periods that detail the trade routes, commodities, and societies of the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. Flavius Arrian's Periplus Maris Erythraei, written in the 1st century CE, provides a first-hand account of a Greek merchant's voyage to India, while Arrian's Account of the Voyage of Nearkhos describes the expedition of Alexander the Great's admiral to the Persian Gulf. This book is an invaluable resource for scholars of ancient history, geography, and commerce.
