Trade: Greece's main exports were olive oil, wine, pottery, and metalwork. Imports included grains and pork from Sicily, Arabia, Egypt, Ancient Carthage, Bosporan Kingdom.
Communication: Pigeons were used by the Greeks to send messages such as the outcomes of the Olympic Games in ancient Greece, from 776 BC to Athens.
