A proposito di questo titolo
 We often imagine empires built on the backs of legions, but on the Silk Road, power flowed through ledgers and marriage alliances. In this episode, we trace the rise of the Sogdians, a people from the Zeravshan valley who had no standing army yet dominated trade between China and Persia. We look at figures like An Jia, whose family served as intermediaries for the Tang court, and explore how their linguistic network created a Pax Sogdiana. From the Sogdian Ancient Letters to their role in transmitting Manichaeism, we uncover how merchants shaped geopolitics more effectively than any general ever could. #Sogdian #SilkRoad #AnJia #Zeravshan #TangDynasty #Samarkand #Bukhara #KangSenghui #Maniakh #Feiqian #PaxSinica #Dunhuang #SogdianAncientLetters #Manichaeism #EurasianHistory #CentralAsia #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
