During the Age of Pericles in ancient Athens, juries were composed of male citizens over the age of 30 who had completed their military training. These jurors were selected by lot from a larger pool of citizens who had volunteered for jury duty. This system was part of the democratic framework of Athens, allowing ordinary citizens to participate directly in the judicial process. Juries could vary in size, often consisting of hundreds of members, to ensure a broad representation of the citizenry.
