Solution

The correct option is B 2 only

Explanation:

Statement 1 is incorrect: The Indo-Roman trade led to strong relations. Silk fabrics and porcelain utensils were imported from China. India exported several goods including steel cutlery to Egypt and Abyssinia.

Statement 2 is correct: Pliny's Natural History (1st century CE) gives details of Indian exports to the Roman Empire. Pliny says there was a drain of bullion (gold and silver coins) from Europe to India to the tune of 550 million sesterces. Roman coins in great numbers have been discovered at several places in India.
