A lot of teenagers go shopping on Saturday afternoon. They go to buy clothes and music, and often just to look round the shops. What’s the history of shopping?
In ancient times people didn’t use money to buy things. They exchanged rice for vegetables, fruit for clothes. People first used metal money in 5,000 BC and paper money in China in about 960 AD.
The early shops were markets. Trajan’s Market in ancient Rome is an example. You can see the ruins of the market in the centre of Rome today. The Romans also used shopping lists. The English discovered a shopping list for clothes near Hadrian’s Wall, an important monument in England.
Specialist shops then opened, selling bread, fruit and vegetables, and fish. And finally the first shopping centre opened near Kansas City in the USA in 1922.
Now people do a lot of their shopping on the internet. But teenagers continue to go to shopping centres to meet their friends.
