Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Phoenicians and Seafaring Trade Although the purple dye was one of their most precious trade items, the Phoenicians used their ports to trade anything and everything across the ancient Mediterranean world. They brought wine from Greece and Italy to Egypt, and Egyptian gold to Europe.
