Roman Trade with India

Between the 1st century BCE and the 3rd century CE, Rome and India exchanged luxury goods, ideas, and cultures across vast sea and land corridors. After Augustus annexed Egypt in 30 BCE, Red Sea ports like Berenice and Myos Hormos became vital springboards to Indian harbors. This Indo-Roman commerce reshaped economies on both shores and left an enduring legacy in art, coinage, and historical memory.
