Quote:What time period are you concerned with? Thespiae was part of the Boeotian League throughout much of the Classical and Hellenistic periods, but as that league went through several iterations, its constituent cities' political structures would have varied over time.
Primarily the early fifth century, but I am also interested in reading of Thespiae's history throughout the Classical and Helenistic periods.
