out the trading world before the beginning of the
Christian Era
The actual shipment Of coin however, for each trans

trade ran both ways there obvious gain by off
setting the transactions which developed the of
bills of exchange. If dealer in Rome shipping
certain goods Athens and at the time receiving
certain goods from Athens he could easily discharge his
own obligation by giving his creditor order his
debtor; and if there houses in the trade
