Talk:Colonies in antiquity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anonymous edit: Pithekoussai, the first settlement in the west, is considered by some (David Ridgway) to be a proto-colony, or halfway point between emporion and apoikia, marked with similar intentions to later colonies but a less successful outcome. Can anyone disambiguate these references? David Ridgeway's book title? Any hint would help.--Wetman 09:32, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Ridgway's book could be "The World of the Early Etruscans", "The First Western Greeks", "The Etruscans", "Italy Before the Romans", or "Pithekoussai", co-written with Giorgio Buchner (or something else not in the library). Adam Bishop 14:32, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Related topics
Would it be proper to add in information about colonies founded in the ancient era (say, before 500 AD):
- by non-Mediterranean nations, such as the Chinese?
- discussing how Roman colonies on the Germanic, Slavic, and African borders differed?
- by cultures instead of by nations, such as the Hebrews and Polynesians?
- in the middle of other cities, such as the many non-Roman cities that developed Roman enclaves?
- of entire nations relocating, such as the Franks, Hebrews, or Toltecs?
If any of the experts on this topic say "no" to any of my questions, please point me in the direction of articles in the Wikipedia that do cover these subjects. Thanks! --M@rēino 20:54, 27 October 2005 (UTC) It also be nice to have infromation that is past ancient times.--Scott3 01:50, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
