Rethinking Indo–Mediterranean relations : new approaches to the Roman Indian Ocean following the 3rd century crisis

The present day globalised and interconnected world has caused a shift in how we face interconnectivity when studying the Ancient World. New methodologies and new horizons have risen to challenge this new outlook on ancient civilizations. In this regard, Global and World History perspectives allow us firstly to analyse the different processes of interconnectivity of the past, and secondly to analyse a wider and miscellaneous geographical area which has not been explored yet by traditional historiography. In this vein, this paper aims to focus on the Indo– Mediterranean relations in Late Antiquity.
