[History] How was order kept in Hellenistic societies?

[QuintusSertorius]

That was an interesting essay. Gives me an orientation point as the furthest integration and fusion of cultures got. I note that there were Greek and Egyptian courts for the resolution of disputes, depending on the documentation.

Very interesting question. This would be useful information for my current AAR, it's been very hard to keep order in the Athenian and Spartan councils...

[QuintusSertorius]

I'm reading Green's Alexander to Actium, and it seems many of the Successors liked to ape Greek structures like the council and assembly, even if they had no real power and/or were filled with picked men. As well as co-existing with whatever had been there before, like Persian and Egyptian institutions.
