What did the ancient Greece trade?

Answer 1

Between the 10th and 6th centuries BC is when trade really became prominent in ancient Greece, particularly when other non-Greek cities became involved. Especially with the establishment of emporia, so-called trading bases such as Al Mina, Massaliot (modern Marseilles) and Naukratis, the ancient Greeks were able to make serious trading partnerships for import and export. The ancient Greeks were renowned for trade in the following items: * Grain * Pottery - particularly common is Corinthian ware * Wine & Olive Oil * Objects made of Gold, Silver, Bronze and copper alloy. * Also raw materials that were not available overseas. * Also luxury items such as jewellery and faience ware etc, but this may or may not have been shipped en masse. For extra information, look into other primary traders at this time, such as the Phoenicians as their paths often crossed. Also look at sources on grave goods and burials and information on the various Greek colonies overseas etc, e.g. Sicily and southern Italy. A lot of well-preserved evidence has recently been gathered from a Late Bronze Age shipwreck at Uluburun off the coast of ancient Anatolia - this was along the ancients trade route.

Answer 2

One of the first ship names we know are the Danais (Danos) and the Argo (jason) named after her shipbuilder Argos (described as the long vessel). It was one of the first long vessel while before small round-shaped ships "strogulla" were used. The length of Argo was probably around 25 meters with 50-60 oars. The Greeks used the word tarsos ( a wing of a bird) for the oars and thus they were considered like the wings of a ship. The oars were used mainly in large numbers in military ships were speed was very important especially for the destruction of other ships with their ram. For trade ships it is not economical to have a large crew because it requires space and money. Therefore sails were used in trade ships.
