I discussed in my other post how trade isn't directly depicted on this map. Besides the absence of goods, I was also interested in the absence of relationships that were shaped by space and also shaped the building of towns and roads. O'Neill discusses in chapter five how relationships between traders were important to the movement of goods across the peninsula and to bringing goods from abroad. And economic activity can even be dependent on one person, as in the case of Sima Bobovich in Evpatoriia (O'Neill, 251). These details are so fascinating to me and demonstrate how economics can be determined by interpersonal forces in addition to the geographical and political.
