My question is simple.
How far did most Romans think the Silk Road went? Did they know they were buying from any one of middle men on a long road to the far east?
Did they know China and India existed? Or did they think Pontus and Parthia were the sources of the material because the middle men protrayed themselves as the source of all the goods?
