Detailed explanation-1: -The Phoenicians were able to get Spanish silver in exchange for cheaper goods such as glass, oil, and pottery. Thus, they wanted to make sure they could keep the trade going. Perhaps as early as 1110 B.C., they established the colony of Gades (Cadiz).
Detailed explanation-2: -The Phoenicians were master seafarers and traders who created a robust network across-and beyond-the Mediterranean Sea, spreading technologies and ideas as they traveled.
Detailed explanation-3: -Phoenician merchants acted as middlemen for their neighbors. They transported linen and papyrus from Egypt, copper from Cyprus, embroidered cloth from Mesopotamia, spices from Arabia, and ivory, gold, and slaves from Africa to destinations throughout the Mediterranean.
