Description

This Routledge academic work explores the influx of silver dirhams from the Muslim world into eastern and northern Europe during the ninth and tenth centuries, with particular focus on Gotland, the Baltic island where the largest concentration of hoards has been discovered. Recent archaeological evidence reveals that dirhams also reached the British Isles, prompting scholars to reconsider the mechanisms of Viking-era trade networks. Rather than attributing this phenomenon solely to the fur trade, this volume presents the slave trade as a complementary economic driver that may explain the substantial volume of dirham currency flowing northward. The book examines numismatic evidence, trade routes, and economic systems that connected the Islamic world with northern Europe during this transformative period, offering fresh perspectives on Viking commerce and cultural exchange.

Key Features
