A Cypriot kingdom of Phoenician language and culture during the classical period, Kition joined the Lagid possessions in the 3rd century BC, together with the whole island of Cyprus. Political changes were accompanied by urban developments, the Phoenician language gives way to Greek, and new cultural institutions (gymnasium, theatre) appear. Epigraphy and to a lesser extent archaeology keep traces of these transformations and their actors—the foreign military hierarchies, but also the local elites, whose role in the process of Hellenization of the city remains to be appreciated
