Summary:

Excavations undertaken in Alexandria, one of the leading cities in Mediterranean trade during the Hellenistic period, have resulted in a relatively large amount of amphora finds. Five hundred and eighty-eight complete or nearly complete amphorae dating from the beginning of the Hellenistic period to the 7th century ad are held in Alexandria's Graeco-Roman Museum and stand as concrete evidence of the commercial networks of the city. Rhodian, Cnidian, Coan, Chian, Mendean, Thasian and Lesbian goods reached Alexandria during the Hellenistic period, as well as goods from Tripolitania, Carthage, the Italian peninsula, Crete, Cyprus and other eastern Mediterranean centres.
