The foundation by Miletus of Olbia c. 645 BC on the northern shore of the Black Sea was probably also motivated by trade. This region became important at this time as a source of grain. The foundation of Messalia (modern Marseilles) by the Phocaeans was also motivated by trade, for whilst it controls the trade route along the river Rhone, it has poor direct access to agricultural land. The Phocaeans also founded Emporion in northeast Spain around the same time with the purpose of trading with northern Spain which had deposits of tin and silver.
