The aim of this study is to understand the nature of the relationship between the Greek settlers of Poseidonia, founded at the turn of the sixth century BC in the Sele Plain (in modern Campania), and the Italic peoples indigenous in the plain. The Greek city flourished from its foundation until about 400 BC when it came under the control of Lucanians from the nearby Apennines. Recent attention has focused on its three well-preserved temples, the rich cemeteries, and the sanctuaries outside the walls. This present study examines the hypothesis that not only was the relationship cordial during the 200-year tenure of the Greeks, but that the indigenous groups actually collaborated in the founding of the city.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mikels Skele\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841714720\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841714721\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Archaeological Reports Oxford Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.69h x 8.27w x 0.34d","brand":"Mikels Skele","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442599145727,"sku":"9781841714721","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_87c9bca2-04fc-444b-bc64-1d0433ddd906.jpg?v=1777198478","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-poseidonian-chora-mikels-skele-9781841714721","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
