Athens had law courts with trail by jury. Juries were much larger than today. In the juries they had several hundered members. When they went in court they placed a metal disc into two jars. The man or women that was guilty had to be killed. They had a water timer and I know why it was used. It was used because every body wanted to speak and they wouldn't have enough time for everybody to speak so they had a water timer to time how long they spoke.I think I know a bit more about the Athems.Georgina x
