Detailed explanation-1: -Trading stations played an important role as the furthest outposts of Greek culture. Here, Greek goods, such as pottery (2009.529), bronzes, silver and gold vessels, olive oil, wine, and textiles, were exchanged for luxury items and exotic raw materials that were in turn worked by Greek craftsmen.
Detailed explanation-2: -In major Greek cities, people could buy wheat and slaves from Egypt. Slaves were people who were captured, bought and sold. The Greeks also bought textiles, spices and papyrus.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Athenian economy was based on trade. The land around Athens did not provide enough food for all the city’s people. But Athens was near the sea, and it had a good harbor. So Athenians traded with other city-states and some foreign lands to get the goods and natural resources they needed.
