Abstract
In the third and second millenia B.C., the Phoenicians, operating from the eastern shores of the Mediterranean, mainly from what is now modern Lebanon, built and manned seagoing ships and travelled, daring the unknown, to seek markets for their merchandise. Thus, international trade, which may be defined simply as ‘the exchange of goods and services among nations’, has its origins in ancient civilisations.
