Yes, taxes did exist in ancient Athens. The Athenian government imposed various taxes to fund public services and military expenditures, including a property tax known as the "eisphora" and a tax on trade known as the "metoikion" for resident foreigners. Citizens also contributed through "liturgies," which were special public service obligations for wealthy individuals. These taxes were essential for maintaining the city-state's infrastructure and supporting its democratic institutions.
