Great map, thanks for sharing. One thing, though: why aren't there also starting Hellenistic poleis at Emporion in Iberia (Empuries, Spain) and at Pontic Olbia along the Black Sea in Scythia (Ukraine)? Those were solid Greek colonies historically. Emporion even had its own mint pumping out currency that influenced neighboring Iberian peoples and their economic practices when they adopted coinage, a similar situation with Iberians around Phoenician (and then Carthaginian) Gader.
