Emporium (antiquity)
An emporium refers to a trading post, factory, or market of Classical antiquity, derived from the grc, ἐμπόριον, (empórion), which becomes la, emporium. The plural is ''emporia'' in both languages, although in Greek the plural undergoes a semantic shift to mean "merchandise". ''Emporium'' is a term that has also been used to describe the centres of heightened trade during the Early Middle Ages. ''Emporia'' varied greatly in their level of activity. Some seem to have functioned much like the permanent European trading colonies in China, India and Japan in the early modern period or those of the mediaeval Italian maritime republics in the Levant. Others were probably annual events for a few days or weeks like the medieval Champagne fairs or modern trade fairs. Examples Famous ''emporia'' include: Elim, where Hatshepsut kept her Red Sea fleet; Elat, where Thebes was supplied with mortuary materials, linen, bitumen, naphtha, frankincense, myrrh and carved stone am ...

The Emporium, Leicestershire
The Emporium is a club located in Coalville, Leicestershire established under that name in 1995. Passion was launched in 1995 by the then club owners Mark Walsh and Eric Schofield, when the club was known as Crystals. Chris Hall, a London promoter who had helped set up Club UK, suggested changing the name to the Emporium and starting a dance night called ‘Passion’: he booked Todd Terry to headline the first ever event. JFK played the first ever record at Passion: the night ran from 9pm-2am, initially in one room, with a sound system being hired as the club's own system could not take the music. Around 700 people turned up on the first night and Passion was born. In 2004, JFK, who had been resident DJ, gave up his residency to further his DJ career elsewhere, although he continued to DJ there. In 2006 he returned after almost 2 years away from the club, becoming involved with the promotion and running of the club once again. In January 2012 Passion ran a classics night playin ...

Emporium (early Medieval)
An emporium (plural: emporia) was one of the trading settlements that emerged in Northwestern Europe in the 6th to the 7th centuries and persisted into the 9th century. Also known in English as wics, they were characterised by their peripheral locations, usually on the shore at the edge of a kingdom, their lack of infrastructure (containing no churches) and their short-lived nature. By 1000, the emporia had been replaced by the revival of European towns. Examples include Dorestad, Quentovic, Gipeswic, Hamwic, and Lundenwic (for which see Anglo-Saxon London) at the North Sea, as well as Haithabu, Jumne and Truso on the Baltic Sea. Their role in the economic history of Western Europe remains debated. Their most famous exponent has been the British archaeologist Richard Hodges.
