From their homeland in the Levant to the distant shores of Carthage, the Phoenicians made a name for themselves as master traders, seafarers, and navigators. Their fierce bireme galleys dominated the Mediterranean, with a focus on protecting their vital trade networks. They developed a new script for writing and produced jewelry, pottery, intricate glassware, and highly valuable purple fabrics. As a city state leader of Tyre, Sidon, Byblos, or Arwad, you need to assemble your fleet and establish your influence across The Great Sea.
