The idea of government by the people is highly valued today, but it was first given the name of “demokratia” (democracy) in ancient Greece. The most famous example in Greece is Classical Athens, but democratic elements appeared in many other ancient states, including republican Rome. The course will examine popular participation in Athens, Rome, and various other ancient societies: how it began, who could participate, who was left out, and what ancient writers thought of it.
