In the Byzantine Empire, Constantinople served not only as an administrative, military, and religious center, but also as one of trade and commerce. The city was selected as the new imperial capital due to its geographical advantages, its vasthinterland, its situation as an ideal vantage point for travel by land and sea, and its safe natural harbors, making it a perfect location fo trade. Considering that medieval Anatolia, and especially Constantinople, was located at the center of a broad trade network and was a center of both production and consumption, trade is rightfully a continuing subject matter of Byzantine studies. In addition, since 2004, the Directorate of the Istanbul Archaeological Museums has carried out archaeological research in Üsküdar, Sirkeci, and Yenikapi, as part of the Marmaray and Metro projects. The excavations have revealed spectacular artifacts and new knowledge on Byzantine trade, ship-building technology, and ships and their cargo. Inlight of harbor excavation results and information accumulated from other ongoing research, it wastheright time to re-evaluatetrade in Byzantium. New findings and knowledge arising from the Yenikapi excavations, in particular, gave reason to revisit issues of trade in Byzantium again.The articles collected in this volume derive from papers presented at the Third International Sevgi Gönül Byzantine Studies Symposium on 'Trade in Byzantium' held in Istanbul on 24¿27 June 2013.

1778"Le port de Calais (...) va être incessamment sans port et sans navigation; cette clef de la France va cesser d'être une ville maritime, cette rade si utile et qu'on pourrait à peu de frais rendre un port asssuré aux vaisseaux du Roi dans la Manche, va être anéantie sans retour si votre vigilance & votre sagesse ne se hâtent d'y pourvoir. (...) Cependant, ne consultant qu'un intérêt sordide & particulier, méprisant ou mettant à l'écart le bien public & celui de l'Etat et du commerce, un sieur Mouron, marchand à Calais et sa compagnie, ont fait enclorre, depuis cinq à six ans, une plage considérable appelée Saline, située au bout du canal du port de Calais situé à l'ouest, proche le fort Nieulai, (...), laquelle enclôture a occasionné à l'entrée du port nombre d'écueils, a diminué la profondeur du chenail & du port, & il va se boucher insensiblement sans retour, de façon que le plus petit navire ne pourra plus y entrer".
