<br />
"First mentioned in the 6th century, Amalfi soon afterwards acquired
importance as a maritime power, trading grain from its neighbors,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amalfi#cite_note-0">[1]</a></sup> salt from Sardinia<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amalfi#cite_note-1">[2]</a></sup> and slaves from the interior, and even timber, in exchange for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold" title="Gold">gold</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinar" title="Dinar">dinars</a> minted in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egypt" title="Egypt">Egypt</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syria" title="Syria">Syria</a>, in order to buy the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantine_silk" title="Byzantine silk">Byzantine silks</a> that it resold in the West. Grain-bearing Amalfi traders enjoyed privileged positions in the Islamic ports, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernand_Braudel" title="Fernand Braudel">Fernand Braudel</a> notes. The Amalfi tables (<i>Tavole Amalfitane</i>)
provided a maritime code that was widely used by the Christian port
cities. Merchants of Amalfi were using gold coins to purchase land in
the 9th century, while most of Italy worked in a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barter" title="Barter">barter</a> economy. In the 8th and 9th century, when Mediterranean trade revived it shared with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaeta" title="Gaeta">Gaeta</a> the Italian trade with the East, while <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venice" title="Venice">Venice</a> was in its infancy, and in 848 its fleet went to the assistance of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Leo_IV" title="Pope Leo IV">Pope Leo IV</a> against the <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saracens" title="Saracens">Saracens</a>."<br />
