| The Gerousia | #35010207
Description
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐚 | Λ | Just under the Spartan kings was the Spartan Gerousia. This body of the Spartan government was comprised of 30 Spartan men who had lived past the age of 30 and had retired from the military. At the age of 30 a Spartan man would be allowed to ‘campaign’ for a seat in the Spartan Gerousia. Here they would be allowed to weigh in on the actions of the Spartan king and help to declare war, establish trade, and even perform some rituals in the Spartan religion. In order for a Spartan man to be elected to the Gerousia he would have to walk in single file before the whole of the Spartan citizens. The citizens would then yell their support for the spartan male who they believed made the best elder. In the end, the spartan male who got the loudest support would be allowed into the Gerousia.
