The city of Rome became the centre of the thriving trading network of the Roman Empire. Goods were transported from all over the empire and were sold in the four corners of the empire. Trade reach beyond the empire. There was trade with Ethiopia, Arabia, Persia, India and China. The city of Rome imported good on a massive scale.
The city of Rome was a massive importer of corn (half of it from Egypt, the rest from Tunisia, Sicily and Sardinia) which was needed to feed its large urban population. It also imported large quantities of olive oil (the largest supplier was Spain, followed by Turkey and Syria). It also imported expensive cloth, silk (from China) and linen and cotton (from Egypt) for the rich. Spices, herbs, sesame oil, sugar, limes, peaches, ebony, pearls and wild animals (tigers, rhinos, elephants, and snakes which were used for circus-type animal acts) were imported from India. Egypt, besides corn and textiles, exported papyrus, ivory, gemstones, ebony, ostrich feathers, leopard skins, lions, leopards and elephants. Incense, perfumes and spices were imported from Arabia. Timber, wool, wine, glass and horses were imported from the Middle East. Spain also exported silver, wine, timber, and horses. France exported glass, wine, and wool. Britain exported silver and wool. There was also a trade in marble, granite, porphyry and other stones for buildings.
There were several differences, but in my opinion the most significant was the lack of a central authority in ancient Greece as opposed to ancient Rome. Greece was a rather loose association of city-states and leagues, constantly quarreling among themselves and prone to shifting alliances. It was many small communities tied together only by a common heritage, whereas Rome was many different communities which were held together to make one big community.

All countries, and Ghana is no exception, usually have local natural resources that are rare in other countries and lack some natural resources that are common in other countries. Trade involves selling things you produce to provide money to purchase things you lack. Humans have been doing this at a personal, national and global level since time immemorial.
The mountains formed a significant obstacle for ancient peoples to interact. People could not easily trade, barter, or meet for any purposes.

The lack of natural resources that affected Mesopotamians were primarily the absence of timber, stone, and metal. As a result, they had to rely on building materials like mud bricks and reeds for construction. Additionally, the scarcity of natural resources limited their ability to produce certain goods, such as metals for tools and weapons, which they had to obtain through trade or importation.
The Republican form of government in ancient Rome was developed so no one person could hold too much power. They purposely sought to avoid the lack of a voice for the people that is commonly associated with a monarchy.
