9600 denarii	7 turns	Huge City

A Merchants' Quarter is the commercial hub of many provinces. Anything imaginable is available to a man with gold in his purse.

Trade can do little else but flourish when a complete section of a city is turned over to the merchant classes. From their villas and warehouses the merchants control all trade within a region, bringing in riches and exotic goods in the process. That trade can be taxed (to the hilt, if need be) is part of the cost of doing business.
