Via Maris

Via Maris, meaning "Way of the Sea" in Latin, refers to an ancient trade route that connected Egypt to the northern regions of the Levant, passing through modern-day Israel and Lebanon. This coastal road was crucial for commerce and military travel, facilitating the exchange of goods, cultures, and ideas between civilizations. It was strategically important in biblical times and continued to be relevant throughout history due to its accessibility and connection to key cities. The route symbolizes the intersection of trade and culture in the ancient Mediterranean world.
