Talk:Colonies in antiquity

message: Note: this article has used the formula BCE/CE since its inception
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)
replies: text: 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)

message: 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!

replies: text: sigh, I had half expected this is about some territorial sensitivity regarding Illyrians again. It's an approximate map, ok? Don't use it to negotiate the boundaries of modern Greece. Don't you feel just a tad foolish for getting so worked up over what dialect was spoken on which mountain slope in the Balkans 2,400 years ago? We can only ever have a rough sketch of that now. dab (𒁳) 14:56, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

text: I actually dont do this "negotiate the boundaries of modern Greece", my reaction is defensive to those that do from the other side.Since sources say that they were ancient Greeks i do get worked up about it.And yes the map had much to want for and it is wrong.There are no illyrians there and if its wasnt that issue it still looks bad.Megistias (talk) 15:01, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

text: I am fixing its border.Its still bad and has to few cities like most maps i have seen.I should make on myself on ancient colonies when i find a better blank map.Megistias (talk) 15:09, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Map 

message: I was wondering whether anyone knows anything about "Kartaia", which is shown on the map in the place of Gibraltar. Gibraltar was a Phoenician colony / trading post, and was known as "Calpe". I have never come across the name "Kartaia" before, and it looks too different to be a Germanized form of "Calpe". Is it a variant of the Phoenician word? Google doesn't produce any results for it, so I was wondering what source the map maker used for it, and whether it is referred to in any books on Phoenician civilization. If there is precedent for use of the name, it would make for a worthwhile addition to the History of Gibraltar article.  Thanks, Saluton (talk) 00:30, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
