Document Details : Title: Aspects of Trade on the Judaean Coast in the Hellenistic and Roman Periods Author(s): FRAYN, Joan M. Journal: ARAM Periodical Volume: 8 Issue: 1 Date: 1996 Pages: 101-109 DOI: 10.2143/ARAM.8.1.2002188 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. |
