Opis

At the end of the High Middle Ages in Europe, with buying power and economic sophistication at a high, an itinerary detailing toll stations along a commercial artery carrying eastern goods was compiled. A picture is drawn of the urban history of each major city, including Sivas, Erzurum and Tabriz itself, and of other towns along the route.
