Indo-Roman trade, in particular, flourished during the early centuries CE, leading to significant cultural and economic exchange. Archaeological findings, such as Roman pottery, coins, and other artifacts discovered at sites like Arikamedu and Pattanam (near Muziris), provide concrete evidence of this trade. The Periplus of the Erythraean Sea offers a merchant's perspective on the goods traded, the ports visited, and the rulers/political conditions of the time, serving as a crucial source for understanding ancient Indian trade.
