Hi, while reading romeo and juliet, I saw a phrase reading "she is like a jewel in an Ethiopian's ear". Did this country used to be wealthy or something?

  2. Yes.

    Nearly 2000 years ago Ethiopia was known as the Kingdom of Axum.  Axum was, in its day, the most powerful and wealthy empire in the region, extending its control to southern Arabia.  It controlled trade through its borders and grew wealthy from taxing traveling merchants.
