ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the trade conducted by the Greek citizens of Emporion and puts forward the thesis that their engagement in commerce, in large part the distribution of goods and artifacts of other peoples, was a central aspect of their own culture and, with the passage of the centuries, became a major manifestation of their Hellenic identity in a diverse and multicultural world, both within the hinterland of Iberia and without, by way of various peoples passing through the port and marketplace of Emporion.
