A small minority of well-born men exercised despotic power over their fellow citizens in the name of an aristocratic conception of society, twice around 400 BCE.

After the surrender, the Athenian Ekklesia (assembly) soon divided into three camps:
* supporters of a “patrios politeia” (ancestral constitution),
* preservers of democracy,
* proponents of oligarchy’.
Debate and inaction continued until September 404 BCE, when the Spartans chose to intervene. They asked the Athenians to choose thirty men to manage all the affairs of the polis.

‘The Thirty initially avoided drafting a precise constitution. Instead, they sought to: a) establish a functional interim government; b) eliminate opponents; and c) reform the laws.’

Assyrian conquest and ruralization: unveiling territorial dynamics in the provinces of Magiddû and Samerina

“This study has illustrated that the Assyrian territorial strategy implemented in the provinces of Magiddû and Samerina, established upon the remnants of the Kingdom of Israel, manifested as clusters of sites, termed ‘islands of control’. These ‘islands’ comprised a rural landscape overseen by the principal cities of Tel Dan, Megiddo and Samaria. This territorial approach mirrors a broader modus operandi adopted by the Assyrians across their empire to manage agricultural production.”

2. The Israelites (referred to in the Bible and the Koran) were an ancient people.

Wikipedia: "Archaeology tends to place their origin in the last centuries of the 2nd millennium BC, after the collapse of the great Egyptian and Hittite empires which dominated the Near East. Societies settled in the highlands between the Palestinian coastal plain and the Jordan River".

The State of Judah had Jerusalem as its capital. It was "defeated and annexed by the Babylonian Empire in 587 BC, and part of its population was deported to Babylonia."

Despite its brief existence, the #PalmyreneEmpire is remembered for having been ruled by one of the most ambitious and powerful #women in #antiquity, #QueenZenobia. It is also hailed in #Syria, where it plays an important role as an icon in Syrian nationalism.
