| Description |
English: These ostraka from 482 BC were recovered from a well near the Acropolis. The ostraca in the upper row read "THEMISTHOKLES PHREARIOS" (Themistocles from Phreari), while the others read "THEMISTHOKLES NEOKLEOS" (Themistocles son of Neocles). The Athenians had a particular voting technique to remove a citizen from the community:
Every voting citizen would scratch the name of the person to be exiled into a piece of pottery and hand it in to be counted. For some votes thousands of named pottery pieces have been found.
If ostracized, the person was exiled for ten years, and after that time could return and have their property restored. After his ostracism, Themistocles defected to Persia and was made governor of Magnesia. Deutsch: Scherbengericht über Themistokles, Museum in der Stoa in Athen.
Italiano: Ostraka (cocci con scritto il nome del candidato all'esilio) del 482 a.C., risalenti alla votazione che sancì l'ostracismo del generale Temistocle. Esposti nel Museo dell'antica agorà ad Atene. |
