Its male citizens trained for war, with the serf population giving half their produce to support the citizens. Women had substantial rights. It had a government of limited democracy where the citizens voted on matters put to them by the council.Athens was partly rural supported by slaves, partly tradesmen and traders. Males had to serve in the army when called out. Women were responsible to run the home, and were kept there in virtual purdah, getting out only for the odd female religious festival. It had a government of direct democracy - that is the citizens met in fortnightly assembly to direct the state.
