The Athenians reduced their own forest cover from about 50 percent in 600 BCE to about 10 percent in 200 BCE. Their low quality soil made trading very important in their society. The Greeks introduced metallic coins to make trading more efficient. In Rome epidemics of disease spread along the Silk Roads.
