This table lists all of the trade contracts available in the empire. The "buying cities" are ports that do not have a local access to a particular product and so are looking for shipping companies to transport that good to them at a profit. Ports will not have trade contracts and a local supply for the same product. The "recipient" is the particular end consumer or purchases for the goods. Military contracts generally offer a better price than non-military contracts. Contracts for Ostia are used to supply the city of Ostia. Contracts for the emperor supply the emperor who will either use the goods for state purposes or sell them at subsidized prices to the poor. Contracts for Ostia or the Emperor have an added opportunity to allow the seller to sell the goods at a discount in order to increase your standing with the recipient of the contract (the higher the discount, the more your standing will be increased). The "product" is the product the buying city is looking for. Note that often the city is looking for goods from a particular area. This is especially true of larger cities and, especially, the emperor. The "price offered" is the price per unit offered by the buying city. You will notice that this price is considerably higher than the local market purchase prices. This is how the shipping companies can make a profit. You can buy goods at a cheaper price from ports the can supply the product (or own a production facility of your own) and sell them to the distant markets often at a substantial profit. Transporting goods costs money, however. There are shipping fees and port costs (portoria). The "port costs per ton" gives the total of these fees per ton. You will need to also look at the weight of the goods you are selling to determine how much these costs will be in the end. These fees will reduce your profits and should be kept in mind when choosing a contract. The contract price is how much you will need to pay to own the contract. All contracts are an investment that require a considerable amount of capital up front. Contracts that have a more lucerative potential cost more than one with less potential. All of the contracts should make you at least some money, however. When purchasing a trade contract, you will have the option of setting the volume of goods you wish to trade. This will give you some flexibility when setting up trade routes. As with the production facilities, there are a limited number of contracts available for each port and type of product.
