What characterized trade during that period was the direct character of transactions, which was expressed through oral speech and the direct exchange of goods. For example, Greek colonists in the region of Olbia, in the northern Black Sea, exchanged with local people fine pottery, wine and oil with wheat, which they dried in special buildings before transporting it. |

Apart from trade in the bank and marketplace, transactions were also effectuated with itinerant sellers. Most famous among them were the inhabitants of Aegina, who transported the Aeginaia from region to region and traded them. These products were given this name, because the first who imported them in the Greek mainland were the Aeginetans.
