Individual Cities Miletus, Priene, Samos

During the half century since David Magic noted that the extant documents yield little information about “the details of government and the actual administration of public affairs in the Asian city-states during the Hellenistic period,” not only has the amount of evidence at our disposal increased substantially, but it also has become significantly better known and, on the whole, much more conveniently organized.1 Different Asian cities have left varying amounts of information, and principles of administration were not similar everywhere. One of the best ways to approach the development of Asian cities during the Hellenistic period is, therefore, to focus on those for which we have the most evidence.
