Aeolian Colonization (20/11/2006 v.1) Αιολικός Αποικισμός (14/10/2005 v.1)

The Aeolian Colonisation spans an extensive period of time, from the end of the 12th to the late 9th c. BC. It included Aeolian peoples from Thessaly and certain areas of mainland Greece, as well as Achaeans from the Peloponnese.

Dorian Colonies in Asia Minor
Dorian Colonies in Asia Minor (26/1/2006 v.1) Δωρικές Αποικίες στη Μ. Ασία (14/10/2005 v.1)

The Dorians together with the Ionians and the Aeolians participated during the Early Iron Age in the colonisation of the western coast of Asia Minor. There they established two new Greek cities, Halicarnassus and Cnidus. The selection of the specific sites was based on the criterion of securing arable land and, as a result, the Dorian colonies became agrarian settlements. The Dorians brought their dialect, their mores and their devotional practices to their new homes.

Roman colonies in Asia Minor
Roman colonies in Asia Minor (9/2/2006 v.1) Ρωμαϊκές Αποικίες στη Μ. Ασία (14/10/2005 v.1)

The institution of the Roman colony survived for more than 500 years. The first Roman ruler who attempted to install colonies in the East was Julius Caesar. The most important reasons for establishing colonies in Asia Minor should be correlated to the need of rewarding war veterans and rehabilitate the lower urban social strata of Italy. The relations between the newly established colonists and the local population were in each case regulated by special legislation. The institutions of the...
