Before studying the particular civilizations of the Classical Period, but after reading the introduction to this time period, what do you believe was the biggest change that occurred during this time period?
In my opinion, the biggest and also most important change was that trade routes all over Eurasia formed. Before the Empires, there were tribes and villages but the trade routes were probably under 1000 miles. All over the world, different societies had leads in many various fields. Before the Classical Age, people didn't have access to the discoveries and inventions of other civilizations. Trade centers with goods from everywhere became educated and advanced cities that inspired more creativity.For the first time, people could build on and combine the knowledge of others.
