• Nubia AD 1

The kingdom of Nubia has retained its independence from Rome, despite a couple of Roman incursions into the country. By now, relations are good, and trade is expanding. The Red Sea trade is increasingly important as the international maritime trade between India and the west grows. Nubia’s trade goods are ivory, leopard skins, slaves, ostrich feathers, ebony and gold. The sources of this trade, hunting and mining, and the trade itself, are under the direct control of the king, and Nubia reaches a peak of power and wealth under king Netekamani (12 BC – AD 12).
