How do regions form and evolve? What are the human and geographical
factors which help to unify a region, and what are the political
considerations which limit integration and curtail co-operation
between a region's communities? Through a diverse series of case
studies focusing on the regional history of Lesbos and the Troad
from the seventh century BC down to the first century AD, The
Kingdom of Priam offers a detailed exploration of questions about
regional integration in the ancient world. Drawing on a wide range
of evidence - from the geography of Strabo and the botany of
Theophrastos, to the accounts of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century
travellers and the epigraphy, numismatics, and archaeology of the
region - these case studies analyse the politics of processes of
regional integration in the Troad and examine the insular identity
of Lesbos, the extent to which the island was integrated into the
mainland, and the consequences of this relationship for its
internal dynamic. Throughout it is argued that although Lesbos and
the Troad became ever more economically well-integrated over the
course of this period, they nevertheless remained politically
fragmented and were only capable of unified action at moments of
severe crisis. These regional dynamics intersected in complex and
often unexpected ways with the various imperial systems (Persian,
Athenian, Macedonian, Attalid, Roman) which ruled over the region
and shaped its internal dynamics, both through direct interventions
in regional politics and through the pressures and incentives which
these imperial systems created for local communities.
