...Colonies in antiquity were city-states founded from a mother-city, not from a territory-at-large. Bonds between a colony and its metropolis remained close, and took specific formsAncient Greece: From Prehistoric to Hellenistic Times (Yale Nota Bene) by Professor Thomas R.

A colony that sided with its metropolis's enemy in a war, for example was regarded as disloyal...".

Why was the founding of Greek |

four reasons why it was important that jump to mind: -the greek colonies in southern italy had a strong influence on the romans (especially after they were conquored by them). "Conquored, we conquor" -the greek colony of Massilia had a strong influence on gaulish society..both in the arts (pottery motives etc) as in the society as a whole (the expensive trade goods were a lubricant for stratification) -the greek colonies in Asia Minor (turkey) were the apple of discord between the persians and the greeks. Hence, without those colonies, there wouldn't have been an Alexander the Great, and an according hellenisation. (with implications stretching as far as india) -less population pressure on Hellas (greece) itself, more trade...and thus more wealth. In an agricultural/trade society, that usually inspires great cultural development (think of the golden age of Pericles) |

Sparta concerned herself with a fixed, disciplined army. They never really had the resources to build up a navy and would juts destroy the greek cities. The spartan Hoplite was among the most feared soldier the world has ever seen. Also, the Spartans were very faux pas with Greek culture and considered very backwards. That help? |
