Merchants in Mesopotamia traded, bartered, and sold items for a living.
Merchants usually worked for Kings and Emperors, but rarely traded for themselves.
Merchants traded in coracles, gulf boats, riverboats, rafts and carts. They also traveled on foot and on donkeys.
Merchants traded grains, wood, ivory, precious metals, fish, meat, wool, textiles, pearls, reeds, logs, stone, beer, wine, copper, bricks, carnelian, oil, Lapis lazuli (a glossy rough bluish stone mined.) , and more!
In Ancient Japan, merchants were at the bottom of the social order. They were considered unimportant although they were actually very important, and merchants were disliked and feared by others. The main purpose of merchants was to sell the goods of artisans, the people in the class above them, and they produced nothing themselves.
