Let's start off with what a brief explanation of what social stratification is; Social stratification is a persons ranking in society. Whether it be financial wise (the most common), the age group, education, and even family power. An early form of this could be the Roman Empire's hierarchical structure; they had the lowest class which would be the slaves and then would work their way up to the highest class which would be the Emperor.
I hope this helped.
Trade was a fundamental aspect of the ancient Greek world and following territorial expansion, an increase in population movements, and innovations in transport, goods could be brought, sold, and exchanged in one part of the Mediterranean which had their origin in a completely different and far distant region. <span />
Some factors include: natural resources, immigration, government, entrepreneurs and inventors. It led to rising standard of living, improvement of transportation, and growing populations.
HOPE THIS HELPED!!
