When we speak of "trade" regarding the ancient Romans, we are not speaking of trading in the sense of swapping items; the term "trade" is used for buying and selling--commerce or business. When the Romans participated in trade, they did business and got what they wanted in various areas. Some trades were agricultural, such as wheat, olive oil, grapes, wine, vegetables and flowers. Other trade areas were livestock, fabrics, spices, perfumes, papyrus, leathers, metals and slaves.
