ABSTRACT
This article examines the Phoenician contribution to the aromatic, perfume, and purple dye industries and resultant commerce during the Hellenistic and Roman periods. Although the archaeological record is still limited, many other sources—mainly textual—show that both Phoenicia and the Phoenicians were active participants in the production and trade of these commodities.
