Greek settlers from Sparta and Laconia conquer …

Years: 717BCE - 706BCE

Greek settlers from Sparta and Laconia conquer the Messapian village of Taras on the river of the same name (modern Tara) in the Apulia region of southeastern Italy in the eighth century BCE (the traditional date is 706, but it may have been earlier).

They establish a new Taras (present Taranto) on the peninsula between the Mare Piccolo and the Mare Grande.

Apparently, the Spartans have sent out these colonizers as a way of getting rid of an unwanted half-caste group.
