This work serves as a translation of the ancient text "Periplus Maris Erythræi," offering detailed insights into the maritime trade routes and commerce of the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean during the early Roman period. The book explores crucial information about trade practices, geography, and cultural exchanges between the ancient empires, particularly focusing on the regions surrounding the Erythræan Sea. At the start of the publication, McCrindle introduces his effort to translate the "Periplus" and Arrian's account of Nearkhos's voyage from the Indus River to the Persian Gulf. The opening details the significance of the text as a primary source for understanding ancient commerce, describing the routes taken by Greek merchants from Egypt to Eastern Africa and India. It emphasizes the writer's first-hand exploration as a merchant, laying out specific trading destinations and merchants' observations on navigational details and traded goods, providing readers with a comprehensive view of the ancient maritime world.
