Among the first to exert strong influence on its political, cultural, infrastructural, and demographic developments were the two major decentralized civilizations of the first millennium BCE: the Phoenicians and the Greeks. While trade and cultural exchange preceded their permanent presence, it was the colonizing movement that brought territorial competition and political power struggles on the island to a new level. The history of six centuries of colonization is replete with accounts of conflict and warfare that include cross-cultural confrontations, as well as interstate hostilities, domestic conflicts, and government violence. This book is not concerned with realities from the battlefield or questions of military strategy and tactics, but rather offers a broad collection of archaeological case studies and historical essays that analyze how political competition, strategic considerations, and violent encounters substantially affected rural and urban environments, the island's heterogeneous communities, and their social practices. These contributions, originating from a workshop in 2018, combine expertise from the fields of archaeology, ancient history, and philology. The focus on a specific time period and the limited geographic area of Greek Sicily allows for the thorough investigation and discussion of various forms of organized societal violence and their consequences on the developments in society and landscape. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 To 800|2fast 650 0 Greeks|zItaly|zSicily|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2009126094 650 7 Greeks.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/947546 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 651 0 Sicily (Italy)|xHistory|yTo 800.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85122246 651 7 Italy|zSicily.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204499 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 700 1 Jonasch, Melanie,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2021135171|eeditor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|tFight for Greek Sicily.|dOxford ; Philadelphia : OXBOW Books, 2020|z9781789253566 |w(OCoLC)1111771501 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2481344|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
