Description
An ancient Semitic speaking civilization, the Phoenicians would come to develop the first instances of thalassocracy, colonization and city-states. Originating from the area we today call Lebanon in the Levant, the Phoenicians relied heavily on maritime trade. Made possible by the famous Lebanese cedar tree timber. As a crossroad between the Egyptians, Hittites and Mesopotamians they used their mastery of sail to introduce many diverse goods into the ancient Mediterranean. Wares such as wine, glass and chased metalwork.
Their perhaps greatest legacy would be their influence on Rome. Due to their influence on the Greeks and Etruscans which the Roman culture was heavily based upon.
