    The Byzantine Empire relied heavily on maritime trade routes, as long-distance trade was very important to their powerful economy. Constantinople, the Byzantine capital, conducted the main trade routes linking Asia and Europe. A variety of luxury goods were brought through these routes, including silk from China, wheat from Egypt, gems from India, and spices from Southeast Asia. Slaves were also forcibly transported from Africa to Europe along the Mediterranean trade routes via overcrowded ships in appalling conditions.

    Maritime Transport has been na important part


    of peoples lives for a very long time .like
    today ,inthe early modern era (between the 16 and 18
    centuries), people already moved and migrated
    A lot to different places,especially through the
    mediterranean sea. There were different reasons for
    themto move: somewent to africa and the middle east,
    looking for a better life. Others were forced to move
    away, trying to escape religious persecution and war.
     PT : Entonny

     Another example of forced migracion was


    related to human trafficking. lost lots of slaves
    were captured, sold and transported from africa to
    europe by ship along the mediterranean trade routes
    these ships were overcrowded and carried from 250
    to 600 slaves who were kept in appalling conditions
    the byzantine empire which was a continuationof the
    roman empire to the east had a rich and powerful
    economy it relied a lot on the maritime transport
    because long distance trade played a very important
    role there
