The book includes two important texts from the Hellenistic and Roman periods that detail the trade routes, commodities, and societies of the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. Flavius Arrian's Periplus Maris Erythraei, written in the 1st century CE, provides a first-hand account of a Greek merchant's voyage to India, while Arrian's Account of the Voyage of Nearkhos describes the expedition of Alexander the Great's admiral to the Persian Gulf.
