Creation of Arcadia[]
The original Mauryan people inhabited the Arcadian Hills. They later moved down into the valleys, which provided better land for agriculture. The area around the Danuba river was particularly advantageous and offered notable strategic resources: the river was a natural border on one side, and the hills could provide a safe defensive position on the other side. This position would also have enabled the Mauryans to control the river and the commercial and military traffic on it from the natural observation point at Isola. Moreover, road traffic could be controlled since Arcadia was at the intersection of the principal roads to the sea coming from Sabaria (in the northeast) and Kolomea (to the northwest).
The development of the town is presumed to have started from the development of separate small villages located at the top of hills. They eventually joined together to form Arcadia, Catullio created a heptarchy with other prominent mauryan aristocrats to the formation of the new state, the formation of Arcadia was official in 950 after the foundation of Arcadia, the new capital of the Mauryan states.
