CONCLUSION; Notes; References; Index of Sources; Index of Names; General Index 330 $aFrom antiquity until the nineteenth century, there have been two types of state: macro-states, each dotted with a number of cities, and regions broken up into city-states, each consisting of an urban centre and its hinterland. A region settled with interacting city-states constituted a city-state culture and Polis opens with a description of the concepts of city, state, city-state, and city-state culture, and a survey of the 37 city-state cultures so far identified. Mogens Herman Hansen provides a thoroughly accessible introduction to the polis (plural: poleis), or ancient Greek city-state, which represents by far the largest of all city-state cultures. He addresses such topics as the emergence of the polis, its size and population, and its political organization, ranging from famous poleis such as Athens and Sparta through more than 1,000 known examples. 606 $aCities and towns, Ancient$zGreece 606 $aCity-states$zGreece 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCities and towns, Ancient 615 0$aCity-states 676 $a307.760938 700 $aHansen$b Mogens Herman$f1940-$0154598 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452309803321 996 $aPolis$953936 997 $aUNINA
