The place of the latter two was taken by Kos and Rhodes, bringing the number of the major islands under Italian rule back to 12.

After the <a href="/wiki/Classical_Athens" title="Classical Athens">Athenians</a> defeated the Persians in 478 BC, the cities joined the Athenian-dominated <a href="/wiki/Delian_League" title="Delian League">Delian League</a>. When the <a href="/wiki/Peloponnesian_War" title="Peloponnesian War">Peloponnesian War</a> broke out in 431 BC, they remained largely neutral, though they were still members of the League. </p><p>By the time the Peloponnesian War ended in 404 BC, the Dodecanese were mostly removed from the larger Aegean conflicts, and had begun a period of relative quiet and prosperity. In 408 BC, the three cities of Rhodes had united to form one state, which built a new capital on the northern end of the island, also named <i>Rhodes</i>; this united Rhodes dominated the region for the coming millennia. Other islands in the Dodecanese also developed into significant economic and cultural centers; most notably, Kos served as the site of the school of <a href="/wiki/Medicine" title="Medicine">medicine</a> founded by <a href="/wiki/Hippocrates" title="Hippocrates">Hippocrates</a>. </p><p>The Peloponnesian War had so weakened the entire Greek civilization's military strength that it lay open to invasion. In 357 BC, the islands were conquered by King <a href="/wiki/Mausolus" title="Mausolus">Mausolus</a> of <a href="/wiki/Caria" title="Caria">Caria</a>, then in 340 BC by the Persians. But this second period of Persian rule proved nearly as short as the first, and the islands became part of the rapidly growing <a href="/wiki/Macedon" class="mw-redirect" title="Macedon">Macedonian Empire</a> as <a href="/wiki/Alexander_the_Great" title="Alexander the Great">Alexander the Great</a> swept through and defeated the Persians in 332 BC, to the great relief of the islands' inhabitants. </p><p>After Alexander's death, the islands, and even Rhodes itself, were split up among the <a href="/wiki/Diadochi" title="Diadochi">many generals</a> who <a href="/wiki/Wars_of_the_Diadochi" title="Wars of the Diadochi">contended to succeed him</a>. The islands formed strong commercial ties with the <a href="/wiki/Ptolemies" class="mw-redirect" title="Ptolemies">Ptolemies</a> in <a href="/wiki/Egypt" title="Egypt">Egypt</a>, and together they formed the Rhodo-Egyptian alliance, which controlled trade throughout the Aegean in the 3rd century BC. Led by Rhodes, the islands developed into maritime, commercial and cultural centers: coins of Rhodes circulated almost everywhere in the Mediterranean, and the islands' schools of philosophy, literature and rhetoric were famous. The <a href="/wiki/Colossus_of_Rhodes" title="Colossus of Rhodes">Colossus of Rhodes</a>, built in 304 BC, perhaps best symbolized their wealth and power. </p><p>In 164 BC, Rhodes signed a treaty with <a href="/wiki/Ancient_Rome" title="Ancient Rome">Rome</a>, and the islands became aligned to greater or lesser extent with the <a href="/wiki/Roman_Republic" title="Roman Republic">Roman Republic</a> while mostly maintaining their autonomy. Rhodes quickly became a major schooling center for Roman noble families, and, as the islands (and particularly Rhodes) were important allies of Rome, they enjoyed numerous privileges and generally friendly relations. These were eventually lost in 42 BC, in the <a href="/wiki/Liberators%27_civil_war" title="Liberators' civil war">turmoil</a> following the assassination of <a href="/wiki/Julius_Caesar" title="Julius Caesar">Julius Caesar</a> in 44 BC, after which <a href="/wiki/Gaius_Cassius_Longinus" title="Gaius Cassius Longinus">Cassius</a> invaded and sacked the islands.

They would remain there for nearly a thousand years, though these were punctuated by numerous invasions. It was during this period that they began to reemerge as an independent entity, and the term <i>Dodecanese</i> itself dates to around the 8th century. Copious evidence of the Eastern Roman period remains on the islands today, most notably in hundreds of churches from the period in various states of preservation. </p><p>In the 10th and 11th centuries, on behalf the Roman Empire of Constantinople, the area was controlled and secured with trade duty rights by powerful maritime city-state fleets of Genoa (with the clan of Vignolo de'<a href="/wiki/Vignoli" title="Vignoli">Vignoli</a>) and <a href="/wiki/Venice" title="Venice">Venice</a> (with the clan of <a href="/wiki/Cornaro" class="mw-redirect" title="Cornaro">Cornaros</a>); When the Genoese snatched a treaty from the Paleologos Emperors of Constantinople, they began invading portions of the Dodecanese and other eastern isles from Chios to Rhodes that had remained under the nominal power of the <a href="/wiki/Empire_of_Nicea" class="mw-redirect" title="Empire of Nicea">Empire of Nicea</a>; <a href="/wiki/Genoa" title="Genoa">Genoese</a> family clans (Moresco, Vignoli, Giustiniani, Spinola and others) each held some islands and were granted rights to rule, trade and to exploit raw materials (<i>masticha</i>, etc.), in exchange for maritime protection, while Orthodox monks ruled on Patmos and Leros. The Byzantine era came to an end when the islands were rented and sold by Genoeses for the venue of the <a href="/wiki/Knights_Hospitaller" title="Knights Hospitaller">Knights Hospitaller</a> (Knights of St John): <a href="/wiki/Hospitaller_conquest_of_Rhodes" title="Hospitaller conquest of Rhodes">Rhodes was reinforced</a> in 1309, and in the rest of the islands the Knights gradually built castles and fortress over the next few decades, while the Genoese fleet remained in charge of the sea routes and kept its bases and trading stores (<i>Empori</i>).

Mussolini embarked on a program of <a href="/wiki/Italianization" title="Italianization">Italianization</a>, hoping to make Rhodes a modern transportation hub that would serve as a focal point for the spread of Italian culture in the Levant. The islands were overwhelmingly <a href="/wiki/Greek_language" title="Greek language">Greek-speaking</a>, with a <a href="/wiki/Turkish_language" title="Turkish language">Turkish-speaking</a> minority and a smaller <a href="/wiki/Ladino_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Ladino language">Ladino</a>-speaking <a href="/wiki/Jew" class="mw-redirect" title="Jew">Jewish</a> minority.

Called Italian Aegean citizenship (cittadinanza egea italiana), this form of citizenship was inclusive of local political rights and exclusive of military service. After 1934, Dodecanese citizens could complete military service and apply to become full Italian citizens, an option many locals chose while supporting Italian Fascism and seeing the Italian empire as promoting their financial well-being. Italian Aegean citizenship also ensured the islands were exempted from the exchange of Greek and Turkish minority populations in the Aegean, a provision of the Second Lausanne Treaty that ended the Greco-Turkish War. After 1934, it was also possible to acquire Italian Aegean citizenship from abroad and to transmit Italian Aegean citizenship on the principle of patrilineal descent. This reform mirrored the principle of jus sanguinis which provides the basis of Italian citizenship and was especially intended for the large Greek-speaking Dodecanese-origin emigrant community in Egypt.<sup id="cite_ref-38" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-38"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>38<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The Fascist administration sought to modernize the islands, eradicating <a href="/wiki/Malaria" title="Malaria">malaria</a>, constructing hospitals, aqueducts, a power plant to provide Rhodes' capital with electric lighting, and establishing the Dodecanese <a href="/wiki/Cadastre" title="Cadastre">cadastre</a>.
