ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
During the Greek colonization in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, settlements of various functions and financial orientation were created. The ancient authors, attempting to define or categorize them, used (and sometimes coined) different terms in the Greek language, like polis, emporion, asty, polichnion, kome, limen, epineion and so forth. Each of these terms can be multivalent. The term emporion denoting a colony or a type of settlement in the Black Sea rarely occurs in the ancient sources, and it is first found in Herodotus. |
