Résumé : | Trade in the Mediterranean is a powerful analytical prism of the great facts of history. It indeed reveals the demographical and political dynamics of a region whose history, at global level, is the one that plunges the furthest back in time. Since they are directly related to basic needs, agricultural products are the special markers of the passing of time and the logic behind it. Unlike products whose use may devalue over time or even disappear, agricultural products are timeless due to their fundamental and irreplaceable nature. Analysing agricultural trade through different eras is therefore interesting in order to achieve a better understanding of the Mediterranean whose history is deeper than its geography is vast. |
