Amber Road

The Amber Road was an ancient trade route that connected the Baltic Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, primarily for the transport of amber, a fossilized tree resin highly valued in ancient times for jewelry and decoration. Spanning various regions, it facilitated trade between different cultures, including the Celts, Greeks, and Romans. The route played a crucial role in economic and cultural exchanges, influencing the development of trade networks in Europe. Over time, it became part of larger trade systems, reflecting the interconnectedness of ancient societies and their reliance on valuable natural resources.
