Description
Summary:King focuses on cooperation and competition in a changing Arctic region. Thousands of years ago, an ancient people struck out across the Mediterranean Sea in search of new commodities, trade opportunities, and improved prosperity. These people, known today as the Phoenicians, established trade routes throughout the Mediterranean. Phoenician trade outposts developed into cities and city-states, forging the way for new civilizations like the powerful Carthaginian Empire. The period of exploration and expansion connected people and cultures, furthering the exchange of goods and advancing knowledge across the region. It also paved the way for competition and conflict as the Greeks, Romans, and other ancient cultures jockeyed for influence in the Mediterranean basin. For hundreds of years, territorial conflicts raged and warfare defined the era.
