Athenian Political Commissions (1920)

By Frederick Danesbury Smith

Book Overview

Athenian Political Commissions is a book written by Frederick Danesbury Smith in 1920. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the political commissions that were established in Athens during the fifth and fourth centuries BCE. These commissions were responsible for a wide range of tasks, including overseeing elections, managing public finances, and conducting audits of government officials. Smith's book examines the history and development of these commissions, as well as their role in Athenian democracy. He also explores the various challenges and controversies that arose during their tenure, such as accusations of corruption and conflicts with other political institutions. The book draws on a wide range of primary sources, including ancient Greek texts and archaeological evidence, to provide a comprehensive and detailed account of these important political institutions. It is a valuable resource for scholars and students of ancient Greek history, as well as anyone interested in the development of democracy and political institutions more broadly.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
