History

Which outcome resulted when early Byzantine silk mills bypassed Sasanian trade routes?

A)Tax revenue for the empire increased
B)Constantinople's watermills became obsolete
C)Coin debasement affected trade balance
D)Shipbuilding timber supplies greatly decreased

Increased tax revenue in Byzantium occurred due to economic stimulus via domestic silk production, leveraging the division of labor mechanism to maximize output, because there was a shift to internal supply chains. Therefore, the empire's treasury benefited, rather than Iranian control deriving wealth.
