Both the growth of the city of Rome and of the Roman Empire affected trade. The conquered peoples were integrated into the economic system of the empire and became part of the thriving and vast trading network of the empire. Goods for trade were produced all over the empire and transported and sold around the four corners of the empire.
As Rome grew into the largest city antiquity ever saw, it became the centrepiece of trade in the Roman Empire because it became a massive importer of goods. It imported consumption goods, luxury goods, textiles, glass, marble and granite, animals, agricultural goods, wine, and especially, olive oil. There is an artificial hill in Rome which was the result of storing carefully plied up disused olive oil amphorae. Supplying massive quantities of grain to the large population of Rome was an important part of the economies of Egypt, Tunisia, Sicily and Sardinia.
Roman trade extended beyond the empire. It reached Ethiopia, Arabia, Persia, India and China.
