The methods for transporting goods have changed a lot over time. Now, we can trade is often done by ships. But back in the ancient days they probably traded mainly by foot and/or horseback.

The construction of roads and canals have affected trade routes a lot. With canals and roads, people looking to trade or trading can go to much farther places in a shorter amount of time. Therefore, trade with roads/canals is much easier than it was without.
