Abstract
Abstract Berytus was a Roman colony founded by Augustus for his veterans. The city, famed for the teaching of Roman law in the Late Antique era, was also economically successful due to its involvement in the trade and production of purple dye and silk fabrics. Wine production is confirmed by both archaeological finds and literary sources. A diverse economy was supported by agricultural productivity and the manufacture of glass, linen, various metal objects, and books. Occupying a key position on many ancient land and sea routes, Berytus was a center of cultural interaction until the devastating earthquake and tidal wave of 551 CE .
