Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Vol 4 Chapter 45: Turui Market Court

According to Spartan law: the throne is inherited by the eldest son; but if the eldest son was born before the king's succession, then he will give way to the oldest son born after the successor; if the deceased king has no children, the throne will be His male relatives of recent blood are inherited; if the heir is still young, he will be in charge of the regent (the founder of Sparta's existing regime is coming to Cugu as the regent).

Akis has only one son, Leo Tiddides, who is twenty-three years old. It is logical for him to take over the king. But whether Leo Tiddides is a native of Akis has always been the Spartan people. Gossip topic. Because during the Peloponnesian War, the general of Athens, Azibid, turned to Sparta. King Akis was very important to him, but he did not expect that the handsome Athenian seduce his queen and even made the whole Everyone in Sparta City knows. The humiliated Akis threatened to smash Achilles to the corpse. After Acebid had learned the news, he ran back to Athens. It was not long before Akis’s wife became pregnant. The people of Bada certainly have doubts about letting Leo Tizides be king.

And Akis’s younger brother, Agislaus, forty-five years old, has always performed well. In the eyes of the public, he is a traditional and pure Spartan. Although he is a lame, he has also received support from many people. .

It is conceivable that the next succession to the throne will be enough for the elders to worry about, and there is still a mind to deal with such small things as Diaonia.

...........................

Corinthian businessman Tios came to Turui for the second time. He had not seen it for a few months. The port changed a lot: First, the Dionyns excavated inward on the north bank of the Krati River estuary, thus expanding the port. The long pouring stone breakwaters are like giant arms, embracing the merchant ships entering the port. The pier is no longer as simple as it was when it was last time. A wooden trestle goes deep into the coast, and the shore is neatly arranged. Houses and buildings, as well as flat and wide transport avenues...

Although there are many merchant ships entering and leaving the sea, the port managers are still orderly commanding them to stop and unload goods. The organization is quite orderly and efficient. The porters are also very good at working, and there are very few bad performances that are lazy, slippery and even bully.

From time to time, Tios saw people wearing white Bolton holding paper and pens and strolling back and forth between the docks. These laborers were more diligent in all ways. Later, I asked other businessmen to know that those people were public officials sent by the Dionysian household registration office. They were responsible for examining the labor performance of these free people who wanted to become the citizens of the Union. If there were any misdeeds, they would have to wait for the time to get ready. The identity of citizens is somewhat difficult.

Of course, the two- and three-squad soldiers who were fully armed and patrolled in the port also kept the order of the port well maintained.

When Tios walked into the port, he discovered that the Dionysian Union had surrounded the port with a thick and towering city wall, and the market was outside the city wall.

When I came to the market, it was also a noisy area. The walls of the original market had been demolished. Because there were too many shops, the speed of market expansion could not keep up with the speed of the shops. The shops and workshops were row upon row and occupied all the open space, leaving only A spacious passage for customers to buy, sell, and firefighters.

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

One is a hospital. The doctors of the Union of Dionynia are highly skilled, and most of the Greeks in northern Greece now know that some people even say that they are much stronger than the doctors in Crotone! Moreover, Davers created a comprehensive hospital that was unprecedented in Greece. It is obviously different from the previous clinics. It is standardized and strict in terms of facilities, systems and management. This is an unprecedented treatment for patients who are pregnant. The sacred feeling that the doctor has not started treatment, the patient feels that he is half. For doctors, 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 very stiff, many Crotone doctors want to come here to study and visit. Every day, every day, the hospital is full of people.

However, there are many people in the other building. When Tios asked, it was known that the Dionysian Union specially set up a court for the Turi market and port to quickly deal with the various trades that occur frequently every day. Disputes and conflicts facilitate merchants, customers, and a large number of sailors and workers. Tios was very interested in the pioneering work that was not found in other Greek city-states, so he also crowded into the crowd.

The establishment of the judges of the Union of Dionynia was in early November, mainly because of the influx of large numbers of migrants. The administrative duties of the ordinary people were enough for the city’s chief executive to deal with more complicated and complicated legal disputes. Indeed, there is more than enough power, and the three city chiefs are complaining. So Daves proposed that after deliberation by the Senate, he decided to set up a senior judge (there is no special judge in the Greek city-state, the case is often The general or the consul is in charge of the trial, and even the judges in the Athens courts are not judged by the jury. In Dionia, as the only consul, Davers certainly has the highest jurisdiction, but the affairs are busy. Unless he is a major case, the general case dispute cannot make it take time for him to deal with it, so the initial right was delegated to the city's chief executive. He is responsible for supervising the lower-level judges stationed in the cities and handling the appeals. In the name of the people to be elected by the Senate, there was Polissis. When he was audited by Davers, he did not say anything, but the winner was Proclawus (because of Daves' recommendation).

Originally, Proxilus should sit in the courts of the city of Turui (although it has not yet been fully built), and the court next to the market is under the responsibility of his subordinates. However, the newly formed alliance is like the morning sun. The people are all busy with their own affairs. There are almost no complicated and influential cases for him to deal with. Therefore, the new judges who are energetic, idle and idle will be the adults. Run to the market, seize the right to subordinate, to personally consider the case.

“What is the next case?” Proxilus had just dealt with a dispute and was anxious to ask.

The second judge, Frok Leon, glanced at him with a grudge. Frok Leon was originally a subordinate of Kunogora, and he assisted the Chief Executive in handling legal affairs in the City Hall. After the law was separated, there were not many people who were proficient in the law. Recommended by Kunogolata, quickly promoted to a lower-level judge, but also into the ranks of the league's intermediate bureaucrats, who knows that after a few days of happiness, Procrustus took up the position, he still dare not say anything, After all, Proksilaus is not only a veteran of the Senate, but also a senior judge. Its status is equally prominent. As soon as it was established, it was promoted by Daves to the position of the city chief executive to show that the alliance valued the law. As the top boss of Frocker Lyon, Proxilus has the right to report to the Senate's Public Service Management Committee on his work performance and his referral.

"It is the wife of a coalition citizen who sues a Lijim businessman for discriminating against her," said Froker Leon.

"Discrimination?" Proksilaus had some doubts.

"The woman is a Lucania," Frocker whispered.

"Oh." Proksilaus nodded. "Then bring the plaintiff and the accused up."

This court in the market is not large. It can only accommodate judges, clerk, programmers, guards and other public officials. The plaintiff and the defendant can only stand outside the open air court. The back of the court is surrounded by iron railings. The public can Watching outside the railings allows the public and the Gentiles to understand the laws of the Alliance, to achieve the role of propaganda and education, and at the same time to allow the judges 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 judges of Hades, the Minus, Lada Mantos, and Aiku, and swear by their names: All said that the facts ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ followed by the plaintiff.

The young Lucalia woman speaks a strange, but fluent Greek: "Respected judge, I am the wife of Union citizen Izam. Today I came to the market and wanted to buy a olive oil. The pottery bottle went to his shop--"The woman pointed at the businessman next to him and said: "I found that he sold a lot of pottery, and it was also very good-looking, so he decided to buy it here because he chose to spend more time on pottery. Some of them, he suddenly angered me, he said, 'damn barbarians, you can not buy, you can not afford to touch my bottle with dirty hands, otherwise broken, I will pay you to do The slave is not enough! 'And said... still said..."

"Judge, she is lying! I have never said this!" the businessman shouted.

"You first stop, wait until she finishes, it's your turn to say!" Proksilaus yelled, then said to the woman: "You continue to say."

“He also said—” The woman blushes, glaring at the businessman, and gnawing her teeth: “He also said, 'A barbaric woman like you is not worthy of such a noble pottery, it’s better to be my slave girl, let me... Let me be happy, I am happy, maybe I will reward you with a pottery - '"

Note: 1. The story of the third party of Azibid is described in my other novel From City to Empire.

2. This stipulation on 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." It seems that there is a similar tradition in Persia. One of the main reasons why the little Cyrus was going to rebel at the beginning was that he was the eldest son born after his father’s ascension, and his brother Persian Alta Xerxes was not, so he thought he should be king, this is the emperor. Meng Guisheng."
