They pioneered the trade routes to the western Mediterranean, provided goods unique to them (special timbers, dyes and foodstuffs) and in addition established a 'carry trade' ie, moved goods they did not produce from one place to another. They established trading colonies throughout the Mediterranean and Black Seas and in Mesopotamia.

By establishing large trading fleets, with war fleets to protect them, they were able to dominate trade in the area for several hundred years, until the rise of other powers took over control of the areas.
