Herodotus, The Histories (ed. A. D. Godley), Book 1, chapter 163 (search)
Phocaea was the first Ionian town that he attacked. These Phocaeans were the earliest of the Greeks to make long sea-voyages, and it was they who discovered the Adriatic Sea, and Tyrrhenia, and Iberia, and Tartessus,The lower valley of the Guadalquivir. Later Tartessus was identified with Gades (Cadiz), which Herodotus (Hdt. 4.8) calls Gadira.
not sailing in round freightships but in fifty-oared vessels. When they came to Tartessus they made friends with the king of the Tartessians, whose name was Arganthonius; he ruled Tartessus for eighty years and lived a hundred and twenty.A common Greek tradition, apparently; Anacreon (Fr. 8) says “I would not... rule Tartessus for an hundred and fifty years.
The Phocaeans won this man's friendship to such a degree that he invited them to leave Ionia and settle in his country wherever they liked; and then, when he could not persuade them to, and learned from them how the Median power was increasing, he gave them money to build a wall around thei

But the DeliansThis Delian story about the Hyperboreans is additional evidence of the known fact that trade routes from the earliest times linked northern with southeastern Europe. Amber in particular was carried from the Baltic to the Aegean. say much more about them than any others do. They say that offerings wrapped in straw are brought from the Hyperboreans to Scythia; when these have passed Scythia, each nation in turn receives them from its neighbors until they are carried to the Adriatic sea, which is the most westerly limit of their journey;
from there, they are brought on to the south, the people of Dodona being the first Greeks to receive them. From Dodona they come down to the Melian gulf, and are carried across to Euboea, and one city sends them on to another until they come to Carystus; after this, Andros is left out of their journey, for Carystians carry them to Tenos, and Tenians to Delos.
Thus (they say) these offerings come to Delos. But on the first journey, the Hyp

The garrison of Ariminum were discouraged by the departure of Valens,
and Cornelius Fuscus, bringing up his army and disposing his Liburnian ships
at the nearest points of the shore, invested the place by sea and land. His
troops occupied the plains of Umbria and that
portion of the Picentine territory that is washed by the Adriatic, and now the whole of Italy was divided by the range of the Apennines between Vespasian and Vitellius. Valens,
having started from the bay of Pisa, was compelled,
either by a calm or a contrary wind, to put in at the port of Hercules
Monœcus. Near this place was stationed Marius Maturus, procurator of
the Maritime Alps, who was loyal to Vitellius, and
who, though every thing around him was hostile, had not yet thrown off his
allegiance. While courteously receiving Valens, he deterred him by his
advice from rashly invading Gallia Narbonensis. And
now the fidelity of the rest of the party was weakened by their fears. In
fact the procurator Valer
