Arconte epónimo

En la antigua Grecia, el magistrado jefe de varias ciudades-estado griegas era llamado archón epónimo (ἐπώνυμος ἄρχων, epōnymos archōn ). "Arconte" (ἄρχων, pl. ἄρχοντες, archontes ) significa "gobernante" o "señor", frecuentemente usado como título para un cargo público específico, [1] mientras que "epónimo" significa que dio su nombre al año en el que ocupó el cargo, de forma muy similar a la datación romana por años consulares .

En la Atenas clásica se desarrolló un sistema de nueve arcontes concurrentes, liderados por tres áreas respectivas sobre los asuntos cívicos, militares y religiosos del estado: los tres titulares del cargo eran conocidos como el arconte epónimo (gobernante de Atenas, el cargo político más alto en la ciudad-estado), el polemarca (πολέμαρχος, "gobernante de guerra", el comandante en jefe del ejército ateniense) y el arconte basileus (ἄρχων βασιλεύς, "rey gobernante", el sumo sacerdote de la ciudad). [2] [3] Los otros seis eran los thesmothetai , funcionarios judiciales. Originalmente, estos cargos se llenaban entre las clases más ricas mediante elecciones cada diez años. Durante este período, el arconte epónimo era el magistrado principal, el polemarca era el jefe de las fuerzas armadas y el arconte basileus era responsable de algunos asuntos civiles y religiosos y de la supervisión de algunos juicios importantes en los tribunales de justicia. Después de 683 a. C., los cargos se ejercían durante un solo año y el año recibía el nombre del arconte epónimo.

El arconte era el magistrado principal en muchas ciudades griegas, pero en Atenas había un consejo de arcontes que ejercía una forma de gobierno ejecutivo. Desde finales del siglo VIII a. C. hubo tres arcontes: el arconte epónimo , el polemarchos (originalmente con un papel militar, que fue transferido a los diez strategoi en 501 a. C.) y el arconte basileus (el vestigio ceremonial de la monarquía ateniense ). [4] Estos puestos eran cubiertos por la aristocracia (los Eupatridae ) mediante elecciones cada diez años. Durante este período, el arconte epónimo era el magistrado principal, el polemarca era el jefe de las fuerzas armadas y el arconte basileus era responsable de los arreglos cívicos y religiosos.

Después de 683 a. C., los cargos se mantuvieron durante un solo año, y el año se nombró en honor del arconte epónimo. [ cita requerida ] El año iba de julio a junio. [5] El arconte epónimo era el arconte principal y presidía las reuniones de la Boule y la Ecclesia , las antiguas asambleas atenienses. El arconte epónimo siguió siendo el jefe de estado titular incluso bajo la democracia, aunque con una importancia política muy reducida. Bajo las reformas de Solón , él mismo arconte epónimo en 594 a. C., hubo un breve período en el que el número de arcontes aumentó a diez. Después de 457 a. C., los exarcontes fueron inscritos automáticamente como miembros vitalicios del Areópago , aunque esa asamblea ya no era extremadamente importante políticamente.

Uno de los arcontes supervisaba el procedimiento de ostracismo después del 487 a. C. [6] La corte de un arconte estaba a cargo de los epikleroi . [7] Otros deberes de los arcontes incluían supervisar los festivales de las Panateneas y las Dionisias . [8]

Lista de arcontes de Atenas

En la siguiente lista de Arcontes, los años en los que se desconoce el nombre del arconte se identifican como tales. Los años que se mencionan como " anarquía " significan que literalmente "no había arconte". Hay varias reconstrucciones de listas contradictorias; las fuentes de esta lista se dan al final. Nótese que el mandato de un arconte abarcaba dos de nuestros años, comenzando en la primavera o verano y continuando hasta la primavera o verano siguientes. También se mencionan el polemarca o strategoi, basileus y thesmothetai (los seis asistentes de los arcontes), cuando se conocen.

Periodo arcaico

Arcontes de la vida

La tradición ateniense posterior varía en cuanto a la posición exacta de esta línea: ocupaban el cargo de arconte vitalicio, a veces denominado «Arconte perpetuo», y ejercían los poderes sacros de la realeza, como lo hizo más tarde el archón basileus . La historicidad de cualquiera de los miembros de esta antigua lista puede ponerse en duda razonablemente. Sin embargo, Aristóteles indica, en la Constitución de Atenas, que fue de hecho la casa de Codro la que abolió el título de rey en favor del de arconte. [9]

Arcontes decenales

En el año 753 a. C. el arcontado perpetuo de los Eupatridae [21] se limitó a 10 años (los "arcontes decenales"): [22]

Arcontes anuales

Después del 683 a. C. el cargo de arconte se limitó a un año y residía en el Pritaneión .

It was also customary for them to wear crowns of foliage when they exercised their functions. And it is certain that the crown, which became and which still remains the emblem of power, was then only a religious symbol, an exterior sign, which accompanied prayer and sacrifice. Amongst the nine archons, the second archon, the one called the King, was the representative of the high priestly function of the old Kings, but each of his colleagues had some priestly duty to fulfill, some sacrifice to offer to the gods.
