Aegean Sea Trade Network

The Aegean Sea Trade Network was a complex system of maritime commerce in ancient Greece, connecting city-states and regions around the Aegean Sea. It facilitated the exchange of goods like olive oil, wine, pottery, and metals, enabling cultural ideas and technological innovations to spread. This network relied on ships navigating the sea, establishing colonies, and trading through ports. It helped shape the economy, culture, and politics of the ancient Greek world, fostering interaction among diverse communities and contributing significantly to the development of early Western civilization.
