Students will be able to answer the following questions:
How did the geographical location of Phoenician cities contribute to their success in maritime trade?
What were the key goods traded by the Phoenicians, and how did these exchanges impact both Phoenician society and the civilizations they traded with?
In what ways did Phoenician maritime trade contribute to the spread of culture throughout the Mediterranean?
