Periplus maris Erythraei

Japanese: エリュトラ海案内記 - エリュトラかいあんないき(英語表記)Periplus maris Erythraei
Periplus maris Erythraei
A book that describes the maritime trade between the Roman Empire and the Eastern world. The author is thought to have been a Greek merchant or sailor living in Egypt. There are many different theories about the date of the book's creation, including 40-70 AD, 70-80 AD, and 95-130 AD. In the strict sense, the Erythraean Sea refers to the Red Sea, but in this book it is used in a broader sense to include the Arabian Sea, the Persian Gulf, the Indian Ocean, and the Bay of Bengal, and the book contains detailed articles about the locations of port cities along the coasts of these oceans and the goods traded there.
