      oh man the ancient world had SO MUCH more long-distance trade than the West is prepared to to think about we forget that the Dark Ages were exactly that. Europe's end of the global trade networks shut down, & to this day we still think of that shut-down state as "normal."https://twitter.com/IOnceAteALeaf/status/1031209548147843072 …

      I'm kind of surprised to learn that opium was cultivated in 1200 BCE Greece. Always thought it was native to Asia and eventually traded with the Romans. Guess I'll just never know how connected that world was.

      I think the problem with so many "Malaysian gemstone found in Viking brooch" type stories is it doesn't necessarily indicate direct or even indirect trade. In some cases, the object/coin/crop may have moved across the globe in a sort of Brownian motion over generations.

      On the other hand, the literally hundreds of thousands of Central Asian dirhams (representing probably millions or tens of millions originally imported) from Viking-era contexts, e.g. Gotland, are arguably more persuasive, no....? :)

      But what do things like the Spillings Hoard really mean in the context of trade? Were these hoards a tribute/Danegeld from the middle east? Were they payment for years of mercenary service (i.e. Varangian Guard)? If they were payment for goods, what was being exchanged?

          It's almost as if there are answers to all these "Yeah, but what if" dumb questions! (Answers which are concealed in books! That you can read! OMG, it's a conspiracy of secret knowledge!)

          I'm at best an enthusiastic lay person on such matters, but have read several dozen meaty books on matters pertaining to history of western civ and art history. I'm engaging with a PHD who isn't a dabbler precisely because I'm interested in knowing more and hearing other views.
