Phoenicia was an element such as a hinge connecting the East and West, supplying goods in the Near East and spreading westwards oriental products. Through this network, the Phoenicians were placed as carriers of ideas and men around the Mediterranean, becoming the architects of a peaceful and continuous dialogue, balance and coexistence among different and distant cultures.
The Phoenician expansion in Mediterranean basin and the activation of the caravan route, connecting the Arabian peninsula, mark a change from the Late Bronze Age trade routes after the invasions of the Sea Peoples. But the role of the Phoenician cities in those long-distance trade is also an element of continuity between the second and first millennium BC, during the great empires of the Near East.
