Naucrary
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Naucrary (Ancient Greek: ναυκραρία, romanized: naukraria) was a subdivision of the people of Attica,[1] among the most ancient in the Athenian state. Each was led by an official called a naucrarus (Ancient Greek: ναύκραρος, romanized: naukraros). All sources for the institution date from after it had ceased to be particularly important and thus the nature of the naucraries is highly disputed in modern scholarship. They seem to have played a role in fiscal management and naval organisation.
