	Colonies in antiquity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Colonies in antiquity were city-states founded from a mother-city, not from a territory-at-large.
		The relation between colony and mother-city (literally metropolis) was viewed as one of mutual affection.
		The right of founding colonies was taken away from the people by Caesar, and passed into the hands of the emperors, who used it (mainly in the provinces) for the exclusive purpose of establishing military settlements, partly with the old idea of securing conquered territory.

	Colony - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A colony differs from a puppet state or satellite state in that a colony has no independent international representation and the top-level administration of a colony is under direct control of the metropolitan state.
		Colony may also be used for countries that, while independent or considering themselves independent of a former colonizing power, still have a political and social structure where the rulers are a minority originating from the colonizing power.
		The term "colony" came to mean an overseas district with a majority indigenous population, administered by a distant colonial government.

	On the Right to Tax America by William Murray, Earl of Mansfield. Great Britain: I. (710-1777). Vol. III. Bryan, ...
		The reasoning about the colonies of Great Britain, drawn from the colonies of antiquity, is a mere useless display of learning; for the colonies of the Tyrians in Africa, and of the Greeks in Asia, were totally different from our system.
		The first colonies were the charter colonies, such as the Virginia Company; and these companies had among their directors members of the privy council and of both Houses of Parliament; they were under the authority of the privy council, and had agents resident here, responsible for their proceedings.
		Every objection, therefore, to the dependency of the colonies upon Parliament, which arises to it upon the ground of representation, goes to the whole present constitution of Great Britain; and I suppose it is not meant to new-model that, too.

	COLONY FACTS AND INFORMATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The term "informal colony" is used by some historians to describe a country which is under the ''de facto'' control of another state, although this description is often contentious.
		(Exceptions occurred: Russian colonies in Central_Asia and Siberia, American settlements in the American_West, and German colonies in Eastern_Europe were not "overseas"; British colonies (or "overseas territories") like the Falkland_Islands and Tristan_da_Cunha lacked a native population.) Most non-European countries were colonies of Europe at one time or another, or were handled in a quasi-colonial manner.
		European countries and the United States, exploiting the weakness of China's waning imperial regime, also maintained so-called international_concessions in that country, a sort of colonial enclave; the coastal towns of Macau and Hong_Kong were held on long-term leases by Portugal and the United_Kingdom.

		The term colony isderived from the Latin colonia, which indicated a place meantfor agricultural activities; these Roman colonies and others like them werein fact usually either conquered so as to be inhabited by these workers, or else established as a cheap way of securing conquestsmade for other reasons.
		This process is called decolonization, though the use of a single term obscures an important distinction between theprocess of the settler population breaking its links with the mother country whilemaintaining local political supremacy and that of the indigenous population reasserting themselves (possibly through the expulsion of the settler population).

	Phoenician Colonies
		Among the most outstanding colonies or trading posts which the Phoenicians had established were the cities of Genoa, where they went in with the Celts and established a flourishing colony, and Marseille which they started as nothing more than a trading post before it became fully Hellenized.
		It is very probable that the tremendous colonial activity of the Phoenicians and Carthaginians was stimulated in the 8th to 6th centuries BC by the military blows that were wrecking the trade of the Phoenician homeland in the Levant.
		Citium, known to the Greeks as Kition (biblical Kittim), in the southeast corner of the island, became the principal colony of the Phoenicians in Cyprus.

		In Ancient Greece, colonies were sometimes founded byvanquished peoples, who left their homes to escape subjection at the hand of a foreign enemy; sometimes as a sequel to civildisorders, when the losers in internecine battles left to form a new city elsewhere; sometimes to get rid of surplus population,and thereby to avoid internal convulsions.
		The trade factoriesset up in foreign countries (in Egypt, for instance) were somewhat different from the ordinary colonies, the members retainingthe right of domicile in their own fatherland and confining themselves to their own quarter in the foreign city.
		The right of founding colonies was taken away from the people by Caesar, and passed into the hands of theemperors, who used it (mainly in the provinces) for the exclusive purpose of establishing military settlements, partly with theold idea of securing conquered territory.

		Despite their ill-defined shape, colonies, at least in extant bryozoans, are not just aggregations of zooids but whole organisms having an integrated physiology and behaviour that appear to be coordinated to some extent.
		The entoproct Bryozoa, or moss animals, form treelike colonies like those of corals and thus show type-2 coloniality; but it is not certain whether the Bryozoa actually belong to the line leading to insects.
		A colony differs from an aggregation, which is also a group of conspecifics but has no cooperative or organized function.

		These later colonies were indeed composed of individuals, that is, of adventurers in search of glory and a new country which would replace the limitations of their old land.
		I contend that this stage corresponds to the time when new colonies were composed of youth who felt the need to conquer, dominate and expand in greatness and power, but were blocked in their endeavour by the unbreakable yoke of family ties.
		Consequently, it shows that the colonies were animated by the spirit proper to the second social stage which aims at domination and glory and, as we said, presupposes a greater use of understanding.

	The Ultimate Damson - American History Information Guide and Reference
		The name Damson derives from the Latin prunum damascunum—meaning "plum of Damascus." It is believed that damsons were first cultivated in antiquity in the area around the ancient city of Damascus, capital of modern-day Syria, and were introduced into England by the Romans.
		The damson was introduced into the American colonies by English settlers prior to the American Revolution and regarded as thriving better in the eastern United States than other European plum varieties.
		The damson is identified by its small, oval shape (though slightly pointed at one end), smooth-textured yellow-green flesh, and skin from dark blue to indigo.
