Beskrivelse
An essential feature of Athenian democracy was its system of litigation; here not only private cases were tried, but points of civic legislation put to the test. In this lecture Dr Gillian Shepherd looks at Athenian law courts and the legal system as well as archaeological evidence for selecting the huge juries and conducting trials, together with some other important features of Athenian life and culture as revealed by the Agora.
