Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

According to the Spartan law: the throne is inherited by the eldest son; but if the eldest son is born before the king’s succession, then he will give way to the oldest son born after the succession; if the deceased king has no heirs, the throne will be The closest male relatives of his blood are inherited; if the heir is still young, the regent will take his place (the founder of the existing Spartan regime came to Kugu to be the regent).

Archis had only one son, Leotizides, who was twenty-three years old. It would have been logical for him to succeed the king, but whether Leotichides was born by Archis was always a Spartan citizen. Gossip topic.Because during the Peloponnesian War, the general of Athens, Asibide, turned to Sparta, and King Akis was very important to him, but he did not expect that this handsome and athenian seduce his queen, and even made the whole Everyone in Sparta knows it.The humiliated Archis threatened to break Yasibid into pieces, but after learning of the news in advance, Yasibid ran back to Athens cleverly, and it took a long time for his wife to become pregnant. The Bata people certainly have doubts about letting Leotizides become king.

The younger brother of Achilles, Agsilaus, 45, has always performed well. In the eyes of the people, he is a traditional and pure Spartan. Although he is lame, he also has the support of many people. .

It is conceivable that the next question of succession to the throne will be enough for the elders to worry about, how can there be a mind to deal with such small things as Dionia.

………………………

The Corinthian businessman Tios came to Turri for the second time. The port has not changed for a few months. First, the Dionysians dug inward on the northern bank of the Krati River estuary, thereby expanding the port. The long pavement made of stone is like the arms of a giant. It embraces the merchant ship entering the port. The pier is no longer as shabby as when it came last time. Each wooden trestle goes deep into the coast. The shore is neat and orderly. Houses and buildings, and a flat and wide transportation avenue...

Although there are many merchant ships going to and from the sea, the port's management staff still orderly orders them to dock and unload cargo, the organization is quite orderly, and the efficiency is relatively high.Porters at the dock are also very easy to work, and rarely have the bad performance of being lazy or even bullying.

Tios occasionally saw people wearing white burtons holding paper and pens and wandering back and forth between the docks. Wherever he passed, these laborers showed more diligence.Later, when I asked other businessmen, I realized that those people were public officials sent by the Dionysian Register Office, and they were responsible for inspecting the normal labor performance of these free people who wanted to become alliance citizens. If they had bad records, they wanted to wait for the time to get prepared. Citizenship is a bit difficult.

Of course, two or three squads of soldiers armed and patrolling in and out of the port also kept the order of the port well maintained.

Tioos walked into the port, only to find that the Dionysian Union had wrapped the port with a thick and high wall, and the market was outside the wall.

When you come to the market, it is also a noisy area. The original wall of the market has been demolished. Because there are too many shops, the expansion rate of the market cannot catch up with the increase of shops. One by one, shops and workshops line up one after another, occupying all the open space, leaving only A wide range of passages are available for customers to buy and sell, transport goods and firefighters to fight the fire.

In addition, there are two special buildings independent of the market.

One is a hospital.The doctors of the Dionysian Union are skilled in medicine, and most of the Greeks in northern Greece now know it, and some people even say: It is much stronger than the doctor of Crotone!Moreover, Dafs has created an unprecedented comprehensive hospital in Greece, which is obviously different from the previous clinics. No matter the facilities, systems and management are very standardized and strict, this is an unprecedented treatment method for patients who see a doctor. The divine feeling made the doctor feel half better before the doctor started treatment.As far as doctors are concerned, it attracts their eyes like a magnet. It is said that if it is not because the relationship between the Dionysian League and Crotone is stiff, many Crotone doctors would like to come here to study and visit.Naturally every day, the front of the hospital is overcrowded.

There was a lot of people watching the other building. When asked by Tios, he realized that it was the court specially set up by the Dionysian Union for the market and port of Turui in order to quickly handle the various trades that occur here every day. Disputes and conflicts provide convenience for businessmen, customers, and a large number of sailors and laborers.Tios was very interested in this pioneering initiative not found in other Greek city-states, so he squeezed into the crowd.

The Dionysian Union established the post of judge in early November, mainly because after the influx of large numbers of immigrants, regular administrative affairs are enough for the city chief to do the work, but also to deal with more elaborate and cumbersome legal disputes. Indeed, the chief executives of the three cities were complaining, so Davos suggested that, after deliberation by the Senate, they decided to establish the position of senior judge (there is no special judge in the Greek city-state, and cases are often resolved by The general or the consul is responsible for the trial, and in Athens the court does not even have a judge. The jury decides. In Dionysia, Davos, as the sole consul, of course has the highest jurisdiction, but the affairs are busy. Unless he is a major case, general case disputes cannot allow him to spend time to deal with it, so initially this authority was delegated to the chief executives of the cities). He is responsible for supervising the lower judges stationed in the cities and handling appeal cases.Among the names to be selected by the Senate are Polyxes. He did not say anything when he was reviewed by Davos, but the final winner was Proxilaus (because of Davos’ recommendation).

Proxirus should have been sitting in the court of Turui (although it has not yet been completely built), and his subordinate is responsible for the court next to the market.But the newly formed coalition is like the morning sun is vigorously rising, and the people are fully busy with their affairs. There are almost no complicated and highly influential cases for him to deal with, so the energetic, partial and idle new judges will be Came to the market, seized the power of his subordinates, and came to hear the case in person.

"What's the next case?" Proxius asked after he had settled a dispute.

Subordinate Judge Frog Lean gave him a grumpy look.Fractal Leon was originally a subordinate of Kunogolata, and he had assisted the Chief Executive in legal affairs in the city hall. After the law was independent this time, there were not many law-savvy talents in the alliance. It was recommended by Kunogolata and quickly promoted to a lower judge. It was considered to have entered the ranks of the mid-level officials of the Union. Who would have been pleased to be occupied by Proxius within a few days, he did not dare to say anything, After all, Proxirlaus is not only a veteran of the Senate, but also a senior judge. Its status is also outstanding. As soon as it was established, Davos was promoted to the position of the chief executive of the city to show the alliance’s emphasis on the law, and As Frog Leone’s head supervisor, Proxirlaus has the right to report his work performance and his recommendation when he wants to transfer to the Public Administration Committee of the Senate.

"It was a wife of a union citizen who sued a Lijim businessman for discriminating against her." Fractal Leon said.

"Discrimination?" Procéraus was puzzled.

"That woman is from Lucania." Frog Leone whispered.

"Oh." Procéraus nodded. "Then bring the plaintiff and the defendant."

The court in the market is not large. It can only accommodate judges, clerks, programmers, guards and other public officials. The plaintiff and defendant can only stand outside the court in the open air. Watch at will outside the railing, so that the public and the gentiles can understand the laws of the alliance, achieve the role of publicity and education, and at the same time allow the judge to be supervised by the public.

A man and a woman entered the court. Under the guidance of the programmer, they first chanted the names of the three magistrates Minos, Radamantos, and Aku under the Hades Hades. They swore in their name: Everything is true.

Then the plaintiff made a statement.

This young Lucalia woman speaks a weird but fluent Greek: "Dear judge, I am the wife of Union citizen Izam. Today I came to the market and wanted to buy a lot of olive oil The pottery bottle arrived at his shop—" the woman pointed to the businessman next to him and said, "I found that he sold many types of pottery, and they were also very good-looking, so I decided to buy it from him because it took more time to select pottery. After a while, he suddenly got angry at me. He said,'Damn barbarian, you can't buy it, don't buy it, don't touch my bottle with dirty hands, otherwise it will break, and you will be paid to me Slaves are not enough!'Also said...also said..."

"Master Judge, she is lying! I have never said such a thing!" the businessman shouted.

"You shut up and wait until she finishes talking, then it's your turn!" Proxius scolded, and then said to the woman: "You continue to talk down."

"He also said—" The woman blushed, stared at the businessman, and gritted her teeth. "He also said,'A barbarous woman like you is not worthy of such a noble pottery, it might as well be my slave girl, let me... Make me happy, I am happy, maybe I will reward you a pottery--'"

Note: 1. The third-party involvement of Asibid was described in my other novel "From City to Empire".

2. This rule about the succession of the Spartan throne "If the eldest son was born before the king's succession, then he will give way to the oldest son born after the succession." There seems to be a similar tradition in Persia, the novel One of the main reasons why the little Cyrus rebelled at the beginning was that he was the eldest son of his father after he assumed the throne, and his brother Perth King Artaxerxes was not, so he thought he should be king.
