Description
English: These disks were used to cast a juror's vote on a case. They would cover up the top when submitting their secret vote, which if closed meant innocent and open (left bottom) meant guilty, or there was a hole in the soul. Ca. 300 BC. Ancient Agora Museum in Athens.
Español: Fichas de bronce para los votos, utilizadas por los jurados, incluidos los del tribunal de la Heliea. Consisten en un disco de bronce con una marca o inscripción de identificación y un vástago axial, sólido o hueco, que sirven para determinar el sentido del voto: la elección de uno con el vástago sólido indicaba un voto de absolución, con un vástago hueco la condena. Ca. 300 a. C. Museo del Ágora de Atenas.
