apella

Ancient Spartan assembly, similar to the Ecclesia of other Greek states. The apella, whose monthly meetings were open to citizens over age 30, did not initiate proposals. It could only consider matters submitted by the ephors or the gerousia. Voting was by shouts. Its business included treaties, wars, and succession; it named commanders, elected elders and ephors, and voted on changes in the laws.

Apella

popular assembly in Sparta. Formally, the Apella was the highest governmental body. It met monthly and decided on the major affairs of the state (courts, foreign policy, and election of officials); in fact, it could merely confirm or reject proposals submitted by the Gerousia and ephors. The Apella had no right to debate. At the beginning the Apella was summoned by the kings or the Gerousia, later by the ephors. The Gerousia or the king could annul Apella decisions they considered harmful to the state. All full citizens of Sparta who had reached the age of 30, owned a plot of land, and made payments to the syssitia were members of the Apella. They met under the open sky; everybody stood; and voting was by acclamation.
