Throughout most of its history, ancient Greece was comprised of city-states which had limited power beyond their boundary. On the small island of Rhodes were three of these, Ialysos, Kamiros, and Lindos. In 408 BC, the cities united to form one territory, with a unified capital, Rhodes. The city thrived commercially and had strong economic ties with their main ally, Ptolemy I Soter Egypt. In 305 BC, the Antigonids of Macedonia who were also rivals of the Ptolemies, besieged Rhodes in an attempt to break the Rhodo-Egyptian alliance. They could never penetrate the city. When a peace agreement was reached in 304 BC, the Antagonids lifted the siege, leaving a wealth of military equipment behind.
古希臘在歷史上大部分時間中都是由各個城邦制的國家組成的,這些城邦國家在國界之外只擁有很有限的權(quán)利。 在小小的羅德島上就有三個城邦:Ialysos、Kamiros和Lindos。在公元前408年,這三個城邦聯(lián)合成了一個區(qū)域,并有統(tǒng)一的首都:羅德。 座都城商業(yè)發(fā)達(dá),并和它的重要盟友,埃及的托勒密一世存在著很牢固的經(jīng)濟(jì)聯(lián)系。公元前305年,托勒密一世的對手,馬其頓王國安提柯一世,為了打破羅德—埃及聯(lián)盟包圍了羅德島。 但他們從未能攻入這座城市。公元前304年達(dá)成和約時,安提柯一世撤除對羅德島包圍,而且舍棄了巨額的軍事設(shè)備。
