| description | Based on the historical framework of Sicily during the archaic and classical periods, the paper aims at an assessment of some of the debated issues concerning land in the Greek world. Indeed, a great variety of solutions, even exceptional, were experimented in that context as regards the division of productive land, both as shared primary resource and as qualification in a civic context. But here land acquired also a different significance as a key to extended territorial definitions. After pointing out the abstractness of focusing only on formal aspects of land distribution in the colonial world, land ownership is considered as an essential element in reproducing the polis-system. This allows a better understanding of colonial continuity, namely secondary colonization, which is remarkably typified in Sicily. Quite differently, in the fifth and fourth centuries, the politics of some powerful tyrants, framing the issue of land within more complex strategic designs, suggests that a different and new value of landed property and agricultural work is developing, on the one hand, and, on the other, that a territorial logic, anomalous for the traditional polis, is set out. |
