A Judiciary Convention Between Oeantheia and Chaleion
abstract
In the first half of the fifth century, the two coast poleis of the Ozolian Locris, Oeantheia and Chaleion, endorsed a judiciary convention to regulate the mode of the right of retaliation on which their respective citizens could lay a claim against the citizens of the other polis, as well as to ensure the latter the access to the justice of a polis that was not their own, that is ‘the justice of the place’ in which they were asked to live preliminary for at least a month.
