Summary

Description
English: This ostrakon from 482 BC was recovered from a well near the Acropolis. The Athenians had a particular voting technique to remove a citizen from the community. If ostracized, the person was exiled for ten years, and after that time could return and have their property restored. Themistocles was a great Athenian general, but the Spartans worked to have him exiled. After his ostracism, he moved to Persia, Athen's enemy, where King Artaxerxes I made him governor of Magnesia. Ancient Agora Museum in Athens.
