The diplomatic tool known as isopolity is a testament to Greek ingenuity and is attested all over the Mediterranean from the 4th to 1st century B.C., mainly epigraphically. “Isopoliteia” was a popular way to establish new relashionships, reinforce old ones or to regulate difficult situations among communities in the Hellenistic Period.
This book offers close scrutiny of potential citizenship between communities as well as a fresh examination of new evidence which has emerged since the publication of the only monograph written on the topic by Wilfried Gawantka in 1975. The book brings together all the evidence for isopolity in the Hellenistic world and demonstrates that communities used this diplomatic tool across different kinds of agreements and through a range of different ways.

"l’ouvrage de Saba est une contribution bien venue et utile à l’histoire diplomatique des cités hellénistiques. Il nous semble être le digne prolongement de la monographie de Gawantka, qui avait eu tort de vouloir mesurer l’isopoliteia à l’aune de ses effets pratiques, mais en avait déjà bien montré la place dans les relations entre États."
