Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

Roman Empire

Archaic globalisation refers to the ancient globalisation dating back to the third millennium BCE. During that phase, the Indus valley civilisation had trade relations with Sumer. Later, during the Hellenistic age, the Roman Empire also had flourishing trade with the Parthian Empire and the Han Dynasty. This resulted in the development of the Silk Road.
