Abstract
Motya is considered an important hub of Phoenician routes in the Mediterranean Sea. The metrological analysis of the weights discovered during the recent excavations revealed the presence of Phoenician, Greek, and Eastern units, indicating a strong connection with the motherland and a dense network of commercial relations with the rest of the Mediterranean Sea
