The Silk Road and the Cities of the Golden Horde

Fedorov-Davydov was a renowned Russian historian, archaeologist and numismatist who, in later years, became preoccupied with researching the links between the Medieval civilisations in the East and in the West, and the history of the Great Silk Road. This book, translated into English, presents a history of the civilisations along the Silk Road, including the Sarmatians in the first century AD, the Turks and Mongols, discussing aspects such as trade, money, the aristocracy and lower classes, religion, city life, as well as excavated material and sites.
