MS – 45 Grade 6 World History CRQ #2 Ancient Greece Trade and Commerce Directions: Use the information below and your knowledge of social studies to answer the questions that follow. Historical Background: Many Greek city-states, such as Athens and Sparta, sent citizens to start new colonies beyond the shores of Greece. Trade between the city-states of Greece and Greek colonies helped to take care of food shortages in Greece where there was a lack of good farm land. As a result, active trade developed between the mainland of Greece and Greek colonies. Merchants and traders developed a system for the exchange of goods that used coins as a form of payment. Each Greek citystate issued its own money in the form of coins. These coins often bore the symbols of that city-state. Drawings of two Athenian coins can be found below.
