The Athenian Amnesty of 403/2 and the 'Forgotten' Amnesty of 405/4Reconciliation Agreement • August 5th, 2013
Contract Type FiledAugust 5th, 2013The reconciliation agreement that the Athenians concluded in 403/2, in the wake of their spectacular military defeat at Aigos Potamoi, a regime of terror, and a traumatic civil war, has, quite justifiably, been the object of extensive research and debate, not least in the twentieth century. The reconciliation was hailed as a success already in antiquity, and the settlement itself has continued to provide a source of inspiration also in current debates on methods of conflict resolution.
