It was first mentioned in historical texts in the second millennium BC, and in Roman times it was an incredibly important trading centre. Its citizens cleverly took advantage of their position on the silk road and began to tax caravans passing through, as well as trading in the rare and exotic goods from the far east. As a result, their city became very wealthy.
