Greece was comprised of a couple of thousand independent city-states spread around the Mediterranean and Black Seas. They were based on subsistence agriculture and fishing, and most cities remained poor and marginal at subsistence level.

However a few dozen developed trading fleets, mines and manufactured and artistic goods, which spread their trade along with the cities they colonised.
