Fragment from a kleroterion
Fragment from a kleroterion in the ancient Agora museum.
Fragment from a kleroterion, which was an allotment machine that allowed for the random selection of citizens to the various civic offices. On the bottom corner of the same photo are examples of the bronze tickets (pinakia) that were inserted into the slots. An attached mechanism to the left of the slots allowed for the random selection process.
Exhibited in the Archaeological Museum of the ancient Agora of Athens. Attica, Greece.
