Corinth was an ancient Greek city-state located in the northeastern part of the Peloponnese peninsula. The city-state had a unique political system known as a diolkos, which was a mixed government made up of a council, an assembly, and magistrates.
The council was the highest authority in Corinth and consisted of 80 members who were elected for life. They were responsible for making major policy decisions and administering justice. The council was also responsible for electing the magistrates who would carry out their decisions.
The assembly was made up of all the free male citizens of Corinth who were over the age of 30. They met regularly to vote on laws and regulations proposed by the council.
The magistrates were the executive branch of the government and were responsible for enforcing the laws and policies passed by the council and assembly. The highest magistrate in Corinth was the Prytanis, who served as the chief executive and commander-in-chief of the military.
Corinth also had a system of elected officials known as strategoi who were responsible for military matters. There were five strategoi who were elected annually and were responsible for leading the Corinthian army in times of war.
Overall, the political system of Corinth was a relatively democratic system for its time, with a balance of power between the council, assembly, and magistrates.
