We know that ballot stations didn't exist in anywhere other than Rome and you had to have the time and money to suspend all business and head to Campus Martius. Wherever I look at ancient (or generally anything pre-modern) states that had some form of democratic voting, it only took place in the capital. I was wondering whether we have at all any examples of this?
It comes as a surprise to me that Rome had "votng stations" - in the U.S. we call them polling places - or any form of democracy. I thought the city of Rome was governed by two Consuls appointed by the Senate.
What positions were filled democratically in the Roman Empire? Who was entitled to vote?
