A concrete analysis of Cristini's reform

In the Christian era, the number of officials in Athens was relatively small, but as Athens jumped from a small city-state to a metropolis in the ancient Greek world and was the leader of the Tyrol League, the number of officials needed in Athens increased dramatically. In the 5th and 4th centuries BC, about 600 administrative officials in Athens handled the diplomatic relations with the Allies, the public funds of the Tyrol League, public buildings and the establishment of the Alliance Fleet.

Administrative officials must be at least 30 years old and belong to three classes: pentakosiomedimnoi, hippie and zeugitai. The conditions are the same as those of the 500-member parliament, but in fact, the working class such as thetes can be accepted as long as they answer that they are the top three classes after the election. Every public office is a one-year term, and you can only hold the same position once in your life, nor can you hold different positions at the same time.

But generally speaking, it is impossible for officials to continue their official career, because all administrative officials, 500 members of parliament and consuls have to go through the investigation process named euthynai for several months after completing their public service for one year, including a 10 team named logistai to actively investigate the behavior of officials and a special court composed of 50 1 jury judges to accept citizens' complaints. Therefore, if every official

Most officials are in groups of ten, and each tribe has an official position. About 100 officials are elected, including infantry and cavalry commanders, financial officials and officials in charge of religious affairs, because these positions require certain professional skills. These officials will be selected from a number of people provided by various tribes at a civic meeting every winter, and then they will be trained and tested before their posts so that they can work smoothly in the midsummer and New Year in ancient Greece.

The remaining 500 officials will be selected by lottery among volunteers. Some positions will be fiercely competitive because of their great power and high popularity, but some public officials will have to work without vacancies because no one is in charge. Tribes will provide lists of many people to the city-states, and then draw lots at the shelter in theseus, east of the Acropolis, to decide the candidates. The whole lottery process was presided over by six judicial consuls, thesmothetai.

These officials were in charge of general administrative affairs, such as controlling markets and weights and measures, supervising officials to sell wheat supplies, repairing temples, supervising city-state finances, maintaining and cleaning roads, and managing 300 archers and policemen in West Xu Ya. One of the administrative teams is quite special. A law enforcement team is in charge of the city-state prison, dealing with the confiscation of property and executing punishments including the death penalty. Some of them have 1 1 members instead of 10.

Like members of the 500-member parliament, officials have some privileges during their tenure, including exemption from military service, special seats in city-state celebrations, and wearing a crown made of myrtle to show their identity. After 450 BC, officials can also receive a certain salary to subsidize poor households to perform official duties.
