I think that term appeared in reference to the free-form fantasies of Sir Arthur Evans, during his domination of British scholarship regarding the Minoans. The Minoans were shipbuilders and seafarers, and carried out colonization and/or trade throughout the Med, but the vision of thallosocracy seems to have just been an anachronistic echo of British sea power.
