| Title: | The Athenian Citizen | |
| Author: | Lang, M. | |
| Abstract: | The artifacts and monuments of the Athenian Agora provide our best evidence for the workings of ancient democracy. As a concise introduction to these physical traces, this booklet shows how tribal identity was central to all aspects of civic life. The text guides the reader through the duties of citizenship; as soldier in times of war and as juror during the peace. The checks and balances that protected Athenian society from tyrants, such as legal assassination and ostracism, are described. | |
