As these presumptive rulers turned to the practical reality of administering the disparate territories under their control, they increasingly developed new cities by merging smaller settlements into large urban agglomerations. This practice of synoikism gave rise to many of the most important cities of the age, initiated major shifts in patterns of settlement, and consolidated numerous previously independent polities. The result was the increasing transformation of the fragmented world of the small Greek polis into an urbanized network of cities. Drawing on a wide array of archaeological, epigraphic, and textual evidence, City and Empire in the Age of the Successors reinterprets the role of urbanization in the creation of the Hellenistic kingdoms and argues for the agency of local actors in the formation of these new imperial cities.City-statesGreeceHistoryGreeceCivilizationTo 146 B.Calexander the great.archaeological.contest for supremacy.disparate territories.epigraphic.fragmented world.greece.greek polis.hellenistic kingdoms.important cities.local actors.new cities.political struggles.presumptive rulers.settlement.small settlements.synoikism.textual evidence.undefended polities.urban agglomerations.urbanized network of cities.violence.City-statesHistory.938.08Boehm Ryanauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.1534474DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910796593903321City and Empire in the Age of the Successors3782091UNINA01275nam0 22003011i 450 UON0051206420231205105503.759978-08-264-7725-520230307d2013 |0itac50 baengGB|||| 1||||Using corpora in discourse analysisPaul BakerLondon [etc.]Bloomsbury2013VI, 198 p.24 cm.001UON004680132001 Bloomsbury Discourse Series210 LondonNew YorkBloomsburyAnalisi del DiscorsoUONC049544FIGBLondonUONL003044410Linguistica21BakerPaulUONV19332065019BloomsburyUONV263617650ITSOL20250516RICASIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOUONSIUON00512064SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI Angl VIII 0863 SI 41095 5 0863 SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI2023169 1J 20230307DDT 61 del 13/3/23 Using corpora in discourse analysis3901958UNIOR
