The collection, distribution and exchange of goods is called trade. It is a process which depends on a number of factors such as the oature and quantity of production, facilities of transport, safety and security of tmders, the pattern ot exchange, etc. All had the distinction of having beenserved by some of the most powerful kings of the day, many of whom had very long lasting reigns. It is astonishing that their available coins are very few and in no way compare either in quantity or quality with the coins of earlier centuries. Since moneyplays an important role in the trade and purchase of goods, the paucity of actual coins and the abundance of coin-moulds in archaeological finds lead us to believe in the shrinkage of trade during the period under survey.
