Do we stock up on grain? Maybe during times of good harvest we can give a small percentage to the malnourished. By the way, Do we only give free food during festivals and holidays? Can we tie this up to a religion then? Is there a greek god of charity?
Festivals are the only opportunity in which most are given meat and free food. You do stock up on grain but that's for sieges, and although there is some redistribution, especially through the festivals or by citizens being lucky enough to have their lot drawn for a public office, most of the time citizens are on their own. In a famine grain might be distributed, and there isn't a lot of starvation, but people are malnourished among the poorer and the metics.
...you do realize that we are still in the classical era right?
Only land-owning men over 30, born of parents who are both citizens are allowed to vote.
We are a long way from universal voting rights. I am just glad we are celebrating one at all.
While that is a satisfying image, it is only one woman that receives the treatment, and I find it likely that it goes as well as winning the lottery :/
Eretria has universal male citizen suffrage for all adult citizen men above 18.
