Historical
Europe

Colonies in antiquity were city-states founded from a mother-city, not from a territory-at-large. Bonds between a colony and its metropolis remained close, and took specific forms. However, unlike in the period of European Colonialism, ancient colonies were usually sovereign and self-governing from their inception.
