27 июл 574 г. до нашей эры - Solon Begins Reforms

Описание:

20 years later, Solon is finally given more legislative power. He strongly desires to dismiss the aristocracy system, but decides to accomplish this through reform and not tyranny. Solon is able to put forth legendary legislation such as the abolishment of debt slaves, decreased poverty by giving jobs to former slaves such as minting of coins and trading of olives, and much more. These initiatives lowered poverty in Athens and improved overall life. Most importantly Solon gets rid of the Athenian aristocracy, but this not quite a democracy yet, since the government is now controlled just by a broader range of wealthy people.
