Name Origin
The name Silk Road Transport is derived from the ancient network
of trade and communication routes linking Europe, the Middle
East, and China - known collectively as the "Silk Roads."
Trade in silk from China gave the Silk Roads their name. The
western terminus of the routes was Constantinople Turkey (current
day Istanbul). The eastern terminus was Xi'an, China (the
ancient capital of China). The hazardous and physically tortuous
Silk Roads were conduits for the dissemination of ideas, the
interaction of societies, and for commerce.
