In the ancient Greece of Pericles and Plato, the polis, or citystate, reigned supreme, but by the time of Alexander, nearly half of the mainland Greek citystates had surrendered part of their autonomy to join the larger political entities called koina. In the first book in fifty years to tackle the rise of these socalled Greek federal states, Emily Mackil charts a complex, fascinating map of how shared religious practices and longstanding economic interactions faciliated political cooperation and the emergence of a new kind of state. Mackil provides a detailed historical narrative spanning five centuries to contextualize her analyses, which focus on the three bestattested areas of mainland GreeceBoiotia, Achaia, and Aitolia. The analysis is supported by a dossier of Greek inscriptions, each text accompanied by an English translation and commentary.
