Question

the economy of mesopotamia was based largely on ?​

Answer 1

The Mesopotamia economy was based on bartering—that is, trading goods and services for other goods and services. Bartering was necessary for people in Mesopotamia to get the resources they lacked. As a result, ancient Mesopotamians would trade with people from other areas.

Answer 2

The ancient region of Western Asia, Mesopotamia relied on bartering for the economy of the region.  

Explanation:

Bartering refers to the trading of goods for other goods. The people in this region also used currencies to carry out the trade. But unlike the currency system that we use these days, they used barley as currency. The people had to borrow barley from bankers and trade using it. They also used gold, silver, bronze, copper and tin to facilitate bartering.
