Hellenic Colonization in Euxeinos Pontos: Penetration, early establishment, and the problem of the "emporion" revisited

By E.K. Petropoulos and Elias Petropoulos

Permanent settlements were founded by Greek marine traders as early as the mid 7th century in and around the Black Sea region. This revised thesis seeks to describe and examine the nature of these permanent emporia from this period until 590/580BC, as well as well as determine the conditions under which they appeared and how they compared to other settlements traditionally labelled as colonies.
