Ancient People explored the world and engaged in energetic trading and various commodities. Sangam Period gives a detailed description of the trade, commerce and markets. The Sangam economy was purely and most independent. The economic prosperity of Ancient depended on their well-organized skills that connected to distant parts of the country. Sangam trading was conducted primarily through Barter system and commercial leading maritime activity. In Sangam era merchant’s code of conduct was, “Refuse to take more than year due and never stint giving to other due”. The Sangam Period associates idealism with realism and classic grace with indigenous industry.
