|Merchants|

Merchants in Mesopotamia traded, bartered, and sold items for a living.

Merchants usually worked for Kings and Emperors, but rarely traded for themselves.

Merchants traded in coracles, gulf boats, riverboats, rafts and carts. They also traveled on foot and on donkeys.

Merchants traded grains, wood, ivory, precious metals, fish, meat, wool, textiles, pearls, reeds, logs, stone, beer, wine, copper, bricks, carnelian, oil, Lapis lazuli (a glossy rough bluish stone mined.) , and more!

I just did a project on this and decided to answer since I knew this basic information! Hope it helps! Thanks.
