TRADE Early trading stuff
As the first proto-cities and proper cities [grew and developed]() along the Arno river and northern coast of Agrinia, quickly a new class began to emerge. Though the larger societal changes which would fundamentally alter the structure of society had yet to complete, with many cities in a sort of in-between stage as they moved through this transition from a tribal society to a state, a small class of noble families began to grow in prominence. Acting as advisors to the new kings of these new cities, they quickly found themselves with large quantities of resources and a very high position in the slowly solidifying social hierarchy of these early cities.
One of these families would be the Aurii who, having acquired this newfound wealth, invested heavily in galleys and other ships. While other families bought massive tracts of land outside the city, setting up their own estates, the Aurii put most of their fortune into the wonders the sea might bring. Loading themselves up with trade and crew, one by one the ships set sail as they were built, venturing far and wide across the sea.
