Ekklesiasterion
In ancient Greece the ''ekklesiasterion'' (ἐκκλησιαστήριον) was the meeting place of the popular assembly (''ekklesia'') in a democratic Greek city-state (''polis'', plural ''poleis'').
== Venue ==
In a few ''poleis'' the ''ekklesiasterion'' was a separate building, but in many cases the theater was used for both performances and the meetings of ''ekklesia''. In some cases multiple locations were used. In Athens the regular meetings of the assembly were held on the Pnyx hill and two annual meetings took place in the Theater of Dionysus. Around 300 BC all the meetings of the ''ekklesia'' were moved to the theater. The meetings of the assembly could attract large audiences: 6,000 citizens might have attended in Athens during the fifth century BC. Hansen and Fischer-Hansen argue that theaters were primarily built for performances and that their use by the ''ekklesia'' was a convenient extra function.
In ''poleis'' which had a separate ''ekklesiasterion'' the building could take a variety of forms. Many consisted of steps built in the slope of a hill, similar to theaters but much smaller. Delos had a roofed building. In Metapontum it was a circular structure on flat terrain with elevated steps. A walkway intersected through the center, where a podium was placed. It could accommodate 7,500 to 8,000 people in the beginning of the fifth century BC, after it was expanded. Such a circular structure was unusual for its location in Magna Graecia. A circular building in Poseidonia has also been identified as an ''ekklesiasterion''. This is more likely a ''bouleuterion'' however, because it could only seat 500 to 600 people in a relatively large city.
