To determine the characteristics of trade between Rome and the East, we can examine the options given:
A. Goods traveled to Rome along a network of roads now known as the Silk Road and were shipped across the Mediterranean Sea.
This statement is correct. The Silk Road was an ancient network of trade routes that connected the East (including China and India) with the West (including Rome). Goods were transported along this route, and once they reached the Eastern Mediterranean, they were shipped across the sea to Rome.
B. Wealthy Romans wanted silks and spices from the East.
This statement is correct. Silk and spices were highly sought after by the wealthy Romans, and these luxury goods were often imported from the East.
C. The Silk Road contributed to the exchange of ideas between cultures.
This statement is correct. The Silk Road facilitated not only the trade of goods but also the exchange of ideas, technologies, and cultural practices between the different civilizations along the route.
D. Silk from Rome was one of the few goods that traveled along the Silk Road.
This statement is incorrect. Silk from Rome was not a significant good that traveled along the Silk Road. Instead, silk produced in the East (such as in China) was in high demand in Rome and other parts of the Roman Empire.
Therefore, the correct answers are B (Wealthy Romans wanted silks and spices from the East) and C (The Silk Road contributed to the exchange of ideas between cultures).
