This article surveys the development of Iron Age trading systems in the Mediterranean. It contrasts the social organization of first millennium trade with that of the preceding Bronze Age, but also points to continuities in the patterns of expansion. Using archaeological and historical evidence, it outlines the growing scale of production and extension of the area where advanced technologies were employed. The routes of maritime trade are related both to factors of competition and to the size of shipping
