did the Aksum kingdom trade
The Kingdom of Aksum was ideally located to take advantage of the new trading situation. Adulis soon became the main port for the export of African goods, such as ivory, incense, gold, slaves, and exotic animals.In order to supply such goods the kings of Aksum worked to develop and expand an inland trading network.ksum remained a strong, though weakened, empire and trading power until the rise of Islam in the 7th century. However, unlike the relations between the Islamic powers and Christian Europe, Aksum (see Sahama), which provided shelter to Muhammad 's early followers around 615, was on good terms with its Islamic neighbors.
