Grece economy
Greece’s economy was mainly maritime and commercial.
Agriculture was not common due to its geographical location.
During the classical period, Greek agriculture was adapted to the existing relief, and in the valleys, where water was more abundant, wheat and vegetables were grown. In the lands of the mountain slopes, vines and olive trees were cultivated.
From the second half of the 7th century B.C. the Greeks began to use currency in their exchanges.
