Which statement about a typical Greek colony and its founding city is false?
It could maintain ties with its founding city
It always remained a province of a centralized Greek empire✓Bonne réponse
It was commonly organized as a separate polis
It did not necessarily obey its mother city in every matter
Explication
A colony usually developed as its own polis rather than remaining a permanently governed province of the mother city. Treating every colony as a unit of a centralized empire imposes a political structure that the Greek world generally lacked.
