    The City Council House

    A bouleuterion (council house) is one of the building types most commonly associated with an agora. Council houses were considered a quintessential element of cities in the Greek and Roman worlds. These structures were built to house one of the oldest professions: politics. Now, who entered this political arena? Members were predominantly male and rich. In other words, the social elite dominated the city council, discussing matters of civic and legal importance.

    In most cities, council seats became legacy positions of wealthy families. Democracy by elected representation was not really happening in Antiquity.
