Phoenicians were known for their maritime trade culture living in the east coast of Mediterranean Sea where today the states of Syria, Lebanon and Israel/ Palestine are.
The exchange of one good or service for another is known as barter. In ancient times, the Lydians and Phoenicians engaged in barter as a primary means of trade, exchanging goods such as textiles, metals, and luxury items. The Lydians are also credited with creating one of the first standardized coins, which facilitated trade by providing a common medium of exchange, while the Phoenicians were renowned for their extensive trade networks across the Mediterranean. Together, these practices laid the groundwork for more advanced economic systems.
