When the Phoenicians became independent around 1100 BC, they established themselves as successful maritime traders and skilled craftsmen, particularly in the production of purple dye, glass, and textiles. Their strategic location along the Mediterranean allowed them to create a vast trading network, connecting various cultures and facilitating the exchange of goods. Prominent cities like Tyre, Sidon, and Byblos flourished during this time, becoming key centers of commerce and innovation.
