Summary[edit]

Description
  • English: These ostraka from 482 BC were recovered from a well near the Acropolis. The Athenians had a particular voting technique to remove a citizen from the community. If ostracized, the person was exiled for ten years, and after that time could return and have their property restored. Themistocles was a great Athenian general, but the Spartans worked to have him exiled. After his ostracism, he moved to Persia, Athen's enemy, where King Artaxerxes I made him governor of Magnesia. Ancient Agora Museum in Athens.

Polski: Ostraka przygotowane na ostracyzm Temistoklesa w 482 p.n.e., odnalezione w studni na północnym zboczu ateńskiego Akropolu, zbiory Muzeum Agory w Atenach.
