Between the 8th and 4th centuries BC, the settlement of Greek communities around the Mediterranean was a major historical process that led to profound social, economic, and cultural changes. Despite the diversity of the coastal regions affected by this phenomenon, which extended from Iberia to the Black Sea, certain constants emerge within this vast process. After providing an overview of the recent historiographical debate, the first part of the book analyzes some of these constants: the specificity of the colonial landscape, the forms of land sharing, the urban project, the dynamics of interaction between the founded cities and the original cities, the forms of contact with local populations, the creation of new cultural ensembles. The second part presents historical and archaeological files on regional cases, from the Tyrrhenian Gulf (Pithecussae, Cumae) to the South of Gaul (Marseille), from the Corinthian network (Corcyra, Syracuse) to the Greek presence in the Black Sea.
