Thasos, Thrace, 168 - 80 B.C.
|Thasos|, |Thasos,| |Thrace,| |168| |-| |80| |B.C.|, Thasos had been subject to Persia, Sparta, Athens or Macedonia for most of its history. After the Battle of Cynoscephalae in 197 B.C., Rome granted Thasos its "freedom." It was still a "free" state in the time of Pliny, the 1st century A.D. Of course, Thasos was "free" under Rome only in much the same way that Rome was a "republic" under Augustus and the emperors.
