Sommario/riassunto

This book synthesizes the history of Hellenistic Karia and offers new interpretations for the motives behind cases of sympoliteia, or the merging of city-states, in the region. This study presents new readings of inscriptional evidence, nuancing our understanding of the dynamics of democracy in the Hellenistic period.
