In contrast to other Indian exports, black pepper was widely available throughout the Roman World, and affordable for ordinary working people. The relatively low price of black pepper indicates that Indo-Roman trade goods was not just pitched at the very wealthy, but benefited a much broader segment of the population. This throws new light on the scale and cultural impact of Indo-Roman trade, which appears to have exploited Rome’s burgeoning non-elite “consumer culture” in the early imperial period. The scale and cultural impact of Indo-Roman pepper and other trade is evidenced by a wide variety of Western sources and ancient Indian texts.

Tanti non emo,Sexte,Piper:胡椒价格,罗马消费文化和大量的印度罗马贸易

与其他印度出口相反,黑胡椒在整个罗马世界都可以买到,普通劳动者负担得起。黑胡椒的价格相对较低,这表明印罗马贸易商品不仅投向了非常富有的国家,而且使更广泛的人口受益。这为印度-罗马贸易的规模和文化影响提供了新的视角,在帝国初期,这种贸易似乎利用了罗马新兴的非精英“消费文化”。各种西方来源和古代印度文字证明了印罗马胡椒和其他贸易的规模和文化影响。
