Ancient civilizations traded goods by using different routes, like roads and rivers. Imagine you're a trader with a camel carrying spices from India to the Middle East, that's how they moved things across faraway lands. Sometimes people used boats on big rivers or the sea. They also bartered: instead of money, they gave each other what they needed.
Examples
- A trader takes a camel carrying silk from China all the way to Rome.
- A farmer trades grain for pottery in a market near his village.
- A sailor carries olive oil on a boat from Greece to Egypt.
