Tyre, an ancient port city in the Middle East, was a prominent city in Phoenicia [http://www.ancient.eu.com/Tyre/].  Tyre was the "center of the purple-dye industry" (Manual 105).  This was important because purple dye was very expensive and those who wore dyed clothes were usually very wealthy.  The existence of dyed clothes created a more prominent class system in society. Trade was a very important part of the economy of Tyre.
