So with so many colonies spread across the Mediterranean Region, it should not be a surprise that the Phoenicians left a legacy along the way. When a civilization takes on the traits of another civilization it is called cultural diffusion. Through trade the Phoenicians not only carried goods on their travels, they also sprinkled their culture all along the Mediterranean Region. Italy: Sidon was known as the center of the glass industry. They were among the earliest innovators of the blown glass technique. Sidon opened workshops in Italy where working with the Italian artisans they perfected blown glass. In conclusion It supplied a growing tradition of glass blowing across the region.
