| Persia’s hegemony over Mesopotamia, Egypt and the Levant brought political stability, whilst its efficient communications networks and infrastructures, such as the great Royal Highway, helped facilitate trade (Herodotus 5.52–4).[1] |
| Herodotus (1.199), for instance, records that some of the prostitutes at the temple of ‘Ashtart on Cyprus were ordinary women who had temporarily dedicated their bodies to the goddess in gratitude for an answered prayer or as the result of religious obligation.[2] |
| Herodotus (4.16) provides an insight into the operation of Phoenician barter when he recounts a story that was supposedly told to him by some Carthaginian merchants. According to this account, when exchanging with a primitive North African tribe, the Carthaginians would deposit their wares on the beach for the natives to inspect. The indigenous traders would then set out a quantity of gold. Once both parties were satisfied, they would collect their goods and depart. Although this is likely to be a fictitious incident, it nevertheless reveals the Greek perception of how Phoenician barter functioned.[3] |
