Abstract :
The paper calls for thoughts on the complex dynamics that led to the formation of the Silk Roads and their interaction with cultural elements, especially religious ones, going beyond the fascination of the 'Seidenstraße' and its 'syncretism'. In particular, the contribution focuses on the ancient and late antique periods and on the role played by Iranian and Iranian-Central Asian elements between global and local perspectives.
