Yes, there was international trade, but not on the scale of Imperial trade, and with many more hazards....Your second response is frivolous. The achievements of Roman engineering and Greek science were a continual source of longing in the Middle Ages, which is why there was such excitement when new manuscripts by Aristotle and Galen came to light, and why there was little attempt to verify results, or contribute new observations, but a slavish devotion to the text.....What the Renaissance leaders imagined is that they were reviving something, harking back to a Golden Age. Thus, the point about their arrogance is not quite on the mark, since they did not, in the beginning, think they were particularly modern and original, but that they were recovering ancient wisdom......
