The Silk Road's establishment created transcontinental trade networks connecting East Asia with the Mediterranean world. The establishment of the Silk Road created history's most significant premodern trade network, connecting civilizations across Eurasia. Formally established during China's Han Dynasty around the 2nd century BCE, these routes facilitated the exchange of silk, spices, precious metals, and other luxury goods between China, Central Asia, India, Persia, and the Mediterranean world. Beyond commerce, the Silk Road enabled unprecedented cultural and technological exchange.

The network fostered cosmopolitan cities and trading posts where diverse cultures interacted, creating multicultural hubs of innovation and cross-cultural fertilization.
