900-1250 C.E. Optimistic Trade Networks

[MartinMånsson]

This is my first map. It depicts an optimistic state of the global trade network during the 10-13th (900-1250) century C.E. However, as history is not static, some of these cities were more active in certain periods, and less active in others. Hedeby for example is destroyed in 1066, while most of central asia was ravaged by the Mongols in the mid 13th century. As well as the italian states rising to power in the late 12th century, and the decline of the south iberian cities in the 13th century. So keep in mind that this is an optimistic view, covering the approximate timespan of 900-1250 C.E.
