Coming from Byblos, Sidon or Tyre, lands backed by the mountains of Lebanon, the Phoenicians, a people of sailors, builders, merchants and farmers, left a deep mark on the shores of the ancient Mediterranean and its history.
Between 1200 and 300 BCE, the Phoenicians seized every opportunity to weave a vast web of commercial, cultural, and religious connections. Producers of oil, wine, and cedar wood, and great metalworkers, they also engaged in a wide trade in spices, perfumes, and exotic products, from the Levant to Portugal. They traded with local elites, spread the alphabet, influenced the arts, and created numerous trading posts and cities, including the sublime Carthage. From the Near East to the gateway to the Atlantic, this brilliant, ancient civilization continues to puzzle historians.
