Silk route is very important trade route from north to south -west in the maurayan age.
Foreign trade during the post-Mauryan period was also highly developed. India had good trade relations particularly with started the Roman Empire. At first, this trade was carried on by road but later on the Persian interfering with it. As a result, trade through sea route started. The most famous parts on the western coast were those of Sopara and Broach and on the eastern coast Arikmedu and Kaveripattanam.
The trade between India and Rome flourished during this period. It was carried through the port of Alexandria, which was then an important centre of trade. The Romans imported from India muslin, pepper, silk and cotton cloth, perfumes, medicines, diamonds, pearls, ivory etc. Some articles were first imported by Indian traders from China and Central Asia and then exported to the different countries of the Roman Empire.
There was constant trade in silk between India and China. This silk route passed through Afghanistan and Iran. Wine, luxury goods and gold and silver coins were sent to Rome. The Kushans and the Satvahanas especially benefited from their trade with the Roman Empire. The balance of trade was generally favourable to India.
