Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how emporion appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Tout se passe donc comme si Narbonne, colonie et capitale de la nouvelle province de Transalpine, avait attiré et concentré les négociants italiens qui désormais, à partir de son emporion, commencent à faire des affaires d’ampleur de plus en plus vaste, tant par l’étendue de l’horizon commercial que par les quantités distribuées.
À partir de ce moment l’emporion, tout en restant un quartier délimitté, va en quelque sortte absorber la plupart des activités du port marchand, de telle manière que lorsqu’on parle d’emporion athénien, par exemple, on entend par là la ville du Pirée dans son ensemble.
