Inventory of Archaic and Classical Poleis An Investigation Conducted by the Copenhagen Polis Centre for the Danish National Research Foundation

This is a lexicon of all identifiable Greek city states of the archaic and classical periods (c.650-325 BC). During this time the eastern Mediterranean was dominated by Greeks who shared an identity based on language, religion and traditions; however the Greek world was divided politically into some 1,500 city states, 1,035 of which are described.Hansen, Mogens Herman is the author of 'Inventory of Archaic and Classical Poleis An Investigation Conducted by the Copenhagen Polis Centre for the Danish National Research Foundation', published 2005 under ISBN 9780198140993 and ISBN 0198140991.
