Colonization in Antiquity to me is Phoenicians or Greeks landing somewhere and establishing a city to expand their trade routes, but any conflict with natives is incidental. Or with Romans conquering an area (and killing some natives, true) and settling some former soldiers, but otherwise not systematically removing the native population.
Were there ever instances in Antiquity where the natives were completely destroyed or removed and replaced with a colonizing population?
Actually, funny you mention the Romans, as I can think of one very specific time where an entire city was depopulated and killed or sold into slavery, starts with a "C"...
Yep, it's Corinth. In the year 146bc, coincidentally the same year as Carthage was destroyed in the 3rd Punic War, the Romans were also at war in Greece. Their opponent in Greece was a collection of allied city-states called the Achean Legue, led by the city-state Corinth. A map of Greece in 200bc which, while not exactly accurate in 146bc, it has recently been used by my professor in my ongoing Roman Republic class and so I will do the same for all the visual learners and to give a general idea of the Achean League's geographical presence.
At the end of a field battle in 146bc, called the Battle of Corinth, because it was near Corinth, the Roman general, Lucius Mummius, set about having every male in the city killed and everyone else sold into slavery and the city was then burned. The city remained essentially deserted and ruined until over 100 years later under Julius Caesar when he refounded the city as the "colony of Corinth in honour of Julius".
edit:spelling, and I left out a section.
What about medieval Europe? Is Outremer colonialism, or is it something different?
