Trade with India and China allowed Romans to buy rare goods such as:

cinnamon and ivory.

Cinnamon was one of many spices to come out of Asia through trade. India’s large elephant population led to large amount of ivory from their tusks being exported.

Answer:

The answer is A. Cinnamon and Ivory.

Step-by-step explanation:

It should be borne in mind that at that time in Roman works in silver and ivory, traces of craftsmanship influence of the Indians could be seen.

Since at that time the trade of ancient Rome with India was based on precious stones, silk fabrics, and most importantly, Ivory.

Cinnamon is one of the top 50 plants used in traditional Chinese medicine, in addition to serving as a flavoring or spice.
