Description

This volume explores the amnesty which ended the civil war at Athens in 403 BC. It presents a new interpretation of the Athenian Amnesty in its original setting, and in view of the subsequent reconstruction of laws and democratic institutions in Athens, while also drawing on perspectives from parallels in modern history.
