The Mediterranean Sea has played an important part of history. This is especially true with regards to ancient history. The Mediterranean Sea was surrounded with a multitude of civilizations in ancient times. Via this sea, peoples from its boundaries were able to trade and communicate. These two items lent itself to progress among the ancient civilizations.

The Mediterranean Sea also was a conduit for warfare. Ancient armies such as those of the Roman Empire could use sea transport to send troops back and forth from battle areas and allowed for faster communications between her provinces.

In later years, as civilization progressed, the sea remained a conduit for trade and transportation. And yes, once again for military purposes. The Mediterranean remains an important body of water and history has been impacted by it by the examples displayed above.
