Levantine Trade

Levantine trade refers to the exchange of goods and cultural interactions that took place in the Levant region, which includes modern countries like Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, and parts of Turkey. Historically significant during ancient and medieval times, this trade involved not only local products like olive oil, textiles, and spices but also commerce with distant regions, linking Europe, Asia, and Africa. Merchants facilitated the movement of goods, ideas, and innovations, contributing to the economic and cultural development of the area, shaping trade routes, and influencing global history.
