Abstract :
The aspects of Judaean trade on which I would like to comment are first, the effects on trade of the nature of the coastline and its ports, secondly the relation between the road system and the ports. The third point concerns the proportion of trade bound for Egypt and the western Mediterranean which was carried by sea in comparison with that which travelled over land. In discussing this we shall have to pay some attention to the seasonal nature of the coasting trade and of the supply of agricultural produce.
