Abstract

Based on restricted archaeological evidence and scattered literary sources, the present paper aims to detect the areas of Byzantine Thessalonike, where commercial activity had been developed, traces the extended marketplaces of a large urban centre and attempts to draw, even faintly, the commercial map of the city from the middle Byzantine period until the Ottoman conquest.
