Abstract The Iron Age was a dynamic period in central Mediterranean history, with the expansion of Greek and Phoenician colonies and the growth of Carthage into the dominant maritime power of the Mediterranean. These events were facilitated by the ease of long-distance travel following major advances in seafaring.

Once, in a coastal settlement in the North American northeast, people came together from near and far in an act of protest against what they perceived as a domineering and unfair distribution of goods and power. At first small in number, the gathering steadily grew: those present organized themselves into a small political community, with new forms of collective deliberation designed consciously to avoid the pitfalls of the society around them. Together, they planned for another, better world.
