		A region of central Greece, north-west of Attica, between the Gulf of Corinth west and the Ægean coast facing the Island of Euboea east (area 2).
		Boeotia remained split between several cities that shared the same dialect during classical times.
		The Boeotian cities joined in a confederacy under the leadership of Thebes toward the later part of the VIth century B. and, from then on, the history of Boeotia is mostly that of Thebes and of the ups and downs of this confederacy, at times strong, at times dissolved by neighbouring victors such as Athens.

	Ancient coinage of Boeotia
		In Boeotia, as in Phocis, the commencement of the coinage may be placed about the middle of the sixth century B.C. The most striking characteristic of the money of Boeotia is that it is in great part a Federal currency.
		The earliest Boeotian coins, alike in weight, fabric, and incuse reverse, are modelled on those of Aegina, and, in these respects, are easily to be distinguished from the contemporary issues of the neighbouring island of Euboea, or of Athens.
		The Aeginetic standard prevailed in Boeotia down to the time of the restoration of Thebes by Cassander, B.C. after which there are tetradrachms of Attic weight, and thirds of the tetradrachm, weighing about 80 grs., as in Aetolia.

		Although they were among the first in Boeotia to issue their own coinage – striking coins as early as 550 BC – they did not include the emblem of the league on their coinage until 387 BC.

	1787 Bocage Map of Boeotia in Ancient Greece (Thebes & the home of Hercules): Antique Maps - Geographicus
		This lovely little map of Boeotia, central Ancient Greece, was prepared by M. Barbie de Bocage in 1786 for the “Travels of Anarcharsis”.
		Boeotia hosts the great city of Thebes, home of Hercules, and one of the most important early Greek city-states.
		Thebes was originally a Myceneian city and prospered until it was sacked by Alexander of Macedonia in 335 B.C.E. Boeotia is also the home of the semi-mythical city of Graia, meaning “Ancient” in Greek, and supposedly the source of the word “Greece” itself.

		It was in the first days of the winter following that the places in Boeotia were to be put into the hands of the Athenian generals, Hippocrates and Demosthenes, the latter of whom was to go with his ships to Siphae, the former to Delium.
		Succours accordingly flocked in from all parts of Boeotia, Hippocrates not being yet there to make his diversion, and Siphae and Chaeronea were promptly secured, and the conspirators, informed of the mistake, did not venture on any movement in the towns.
		Besides the late severe blow which the Athenians had met with in Boeotia, joined to the seductive, though untrue, statements of Brasidas, about the Athenians not having ventured to engage his single army at Nisaea, made the allies confident, and caused them to believe that no Athenian force would be sent against them.

		a ternary structure: 12 centers are in central and southern Greece: Boeotia (except Lamia and Chalcis), Athens (except Delos) and the Peloponnesus; 13 in northern Greece, Macedonia and Thrace; 13 in Asia Minor and the Aegean sea.
		This threesome is a recurrent feature in the classical age; Athens, Sparta and T hebes (The Confederacy of Boeotia) had enjoyed prestigious status from archaic times; they had never ceased fighting for supremacy until they were eventually vanquished by Philip of Macedonia.
		It is of primary importance to Boeotia to control the gulfs of Corinth, Patrae, and possibly at a later time the Euboic gulf as well; the sea means a defensive barrier rather than an opportunity for development.

	CLAS 175: Scott Rusch on Plataea, 2/22/96
		Situated on a large sloping plateau projecting northwards from Mount Cithaerum, the city in the period we are discussing lay where the citadel of the late Classsical, Hellenistic, and Roman periods was located, in the northwestern part of the later city.
		Plataea was the doorway to Boeotia, so anyone wanting to open or close that doorway needed to control the town.
		If Athens had kept control of Boeotia, or if Athens and Sparta had remained on more or less friendly terms, all would have been well for the Plataeans were concerned.
