ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
Two types of trade were conducted in Byzantine Asia Minor: regional trade and interregional or international trade with the Persians, the Arabs, the Turks, the Laz, etc. Both types of trade involved imports and exports of food, clothing, medicine, timber, horses and other commodities of daily use, as well as the supply of the army and the satisfaction of the need for luxury. The transportation of commodities and people was conducted through road networks and ports. Customs existed in certain cities. The trade was conducted during trade fairs. Thee communication between different people necessitated both types of trade and international treaties were signed in order to facilitate it. |
