 Phocaea - Coinage: Encyclopedia II - Phocaea - HistoryThe ancient Greek geographer Pausanias, says that Phocaea was founded by Phocians under Athenian leadership, on land given to them by the Aeolian Cymaeans, and that they were admitted into the Ionian League, after accepting as kings the line of Codrus.2 Pottery remains indicate Aeolian presence as late as the 9th century BC, and Ionian presence as early as the end of the 9th century BC. From this an approximate date of settlement for Phocaea can be inferred.See also:Phocaea, Phocaea - Geography, Phocaea - History, Phocaea - Coinage, Phocaea - Notes Read more here: » Phocaea: Encyclopedia II - Phocaea - History |
