The Han Silk Road: Spices, Slaves, and the First Global Exchange

9 min•8 juni 2026

Trade routes across Central Asia didn't just move silk—they transformed China, Persia, and Rome. In this episode, Lucas and Luna trace the Han Dynasty's Silk Road from Zhang Qian's desperate mission to the bustling markets of Chang'an. They explore what was actually traded (spices, glass, slaves, and rhubarb), how the Xiongnu hijacked the routes, and the diplomatic letters between Han and Rome that never arrived. Along the way, they pause to reflect on how listener support keeps this ad-free history alive.
