Athenian citizens had to be male and free, Citizens could be old land holding nobility, shopkeepers, craftsmen and poor workers. Metics were citizens from other city states and they could participate in religious festivals and serve as hoplites in army/or men in navy. Metics were able to access courts and own factories. But if they were a Metic you didn’t own land. Athenian slaves had to work in household as tutors and worked for the state.

If women wanted to go outside they would have to take a male/men with them. They were expected to have children, practically males because they were much more needed than females were. When girls reached the age of fourteen-year-old they were forced to get married to a thirty-year-old man. This shows how strict rules/laws were in Athens.

Male Athenians did many activities to keep them occupied throughout the day, but most of these activities were prohibited from women. An example of one of the activities was, men had to the ones to go out to the markets because they believed that women wouldn’t understand how money worked and how to handle it. This was the reason why could inherit land but not buy and sell it. This  meant only men could buy and sell land.  ]]> 2016-10-23 05:15:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sjordan13/SiennaAncientAthenspost/wish/132521745 Economy: sjordan13 https://padlet.com/sjordan13/SiennaAncientAthenspost/wish/132522153 In Ancient Athens the economy was based only on trade. Athenians traded things with people from other city states and foreign lands. Athenian land in Athens was not suitable for farming, but it was a great harbour because it was near the sea.

Athens had yearly festivals for Athletics, drama and religious occasions. To help cover the costs of the festivals people would use city taxes to cover only some of the costs, but rich citizens had to pay extra than other citizens. Therefore Festivals were a big feature in Athenians’ lives.
