Answer:
A. The spread of the Phoenician system of government among Mediterranean Civilizations.
Italy:
Sidon was known as the center of the glass industry as they were among the earliest innovators of the blown glass technique.
Glass blowing was a growing tradition and Sidon opened workshops in Italy and across the region where working with the Italian artisans they perfected blown glass.
This lead to widespread availability of glass across the Mediterranean region.
The Phoenicians left a strong legacy. The numerous colonies caused cultural diffusion (the spreading of ideas or products from one culture to another).
Through trade the Phoenicians not only carried goods on their travels, they sprinkled their culture all along the Mediterranean Region.
For example: Phoenicians could be considered the founders of Western literature because traders spread their alphabet throughout the Mediterranean, and many written languages were based on Phoenician letters.
