Using Semitic and Greek textual sources, as well as numismatic, epigraphic and archaeological evidence nearly 200 commodities are identified and discussed, including spices, pigments, dyes, chemicals, and manufactured items such as coinage and ceramics. In the final chapter, a synthesis of the material is presented along with the historic and economic conclusions for Persian period trade that can be drawn from the assembled evidence.electronicengCopyright is held by the author.
