- Ships sailed from Egyptian ports (Berenice, Myos Hormos) through the Red Sea and across the Arabian Sea.
- Monsoon winds enabled predictable sailing windows between October–April and April–September.
- Key Indian ports included Muziris (Kerala), Bharuch (Gujarat), and Arikamedu (Tamil Nadu).
- Amphorae fragments, Roman coins, and inscriptions attest to sustained naval links.
