You live in Barygaza and are visiting the port. Describe what you would see there.

I would see large ships coming and going from the port. It would is a busy place with everybody hurrying around. People would be busy buying the imported items from the merchants. Slaves would be loading the ships with ivory, agate, carnelian, cotton, silk, perfumes other precious items native to Barygaza for trade oversees. There would also be fishermen going about their work with nets and hooks. The king with his royal procession may also be there to look around the activities of the port, receiving gifts from merchants and giving alms to the poor.
