Best Answer

The city states each had limited land to support growing populations. So trade became a means of augmenting local production. Also, surplus populations were shipped out to seize new land around the Mediterranean and Black Seas, and these 'daughter' cities, often producing different mineral, food and manufactured goods traded with their mother cities.
