Trade objects in Ezio's inventory

Trade objects was an Animus designation for some items Ezio Auditore collected in Rome during the Renaissance. Their provenance was varied, being looted from enemies, found in chests, stolen from pickpockets and Borgia messengers, or gained through fulfilling certain contracts with the Assassin recruits.

Ezio would collect some of these objects as favors for shopkeepers on Tiber Island and others he would simply sell.
