Hey guys,

A question regarding Greek trade,

With the assumption that a Portage (Or a very early Volga-Don Canal) could be protected, what could have been the effect of a Volga-Don Portage/Canal on Greeks during the Hellenistic Period?

My first thought would be new colonies and more stability, as well as a shortcut for overland trade, but I was curious as to whether the greeks had ships that could make the trip, or whether they'd consider it worthwhile.

Thanks :)
