The phoenician believed in kings

Phoenicia was based upon independent city states, and eventually, colonies as far away as in Spain.



Every main city was ruled by a king, who had to cooperate with strong representatives of merchant families. http://lexicorient.com/e.o/phoenicia.htm


It is believed that economic opportunity and population
pressures forced them out into the seas.


Organized into individual city-states, each Phoenician city was under
its own form of government. Each had its own god and its own ruler, whose
usually remained in power for life. Gebeil (Byblos) was a strong religious
city-state. Sidon and tyre were cities of Business, industry, and navigation. http://www.lost-civilizations.net/phoenicians-history.html




The
city-states were all linked by their common ancestors, language, and writing.Their mutual interests were their trade arrangements, their customs, and their
rituals and beliefs. Nevertheless, even though they were only a one or two day
march from each other, they never were able to unite as a single power when
they were attacked.
