In the course of the third century, the Roman Empire came to near collapse. Military monarchy … which restored order after a series of civil wars [wars between two groups in the same country], was followed by military chaos.For the next 49 years, the Roman imperial throne was occupied by anyone who had the military strength to take
it—a total of 22 emperors. … At the same time, the empire was threatened by a series of invasions, no doubt worsened by the civil wars. … There was a noticeable decline in trade and small industry, and the labor shortage caused by the plague affected both military recruiting and the economy. Armies were needed more than ever, but money problems made it difficult to pay and sign up more soldiers. By the mid-third century, the state had to hire Germans to fight under Roman commanders.

It met 40 times a year, usually at a place called the Pnyx, a natural amphitheater on one of the hills west of the Acropolis. In theory, any member of the Assembly could speak about anything. But for practical reasons, [the Assembly] also had an official agenda [schedule or plan]. This was prepared by a Council composed of 500 men, 50 from each of the ten Athenian tribes. They were chosen by lot [random lottery] from a list of volunteers, all of them citizens over the age of 30. … After an interval they might serve a second year, but they could never serve for more than two.
