Ancient Greece was divided into hundreds of city‐states, each with their own political institutions and laws. Despite this diversity, there was much unity in aspects of substantive law (marriage law, contracts, real security, the status of freed persons, the accountability of officials) and constitutional law. On the other hand, procedural law often varied from one Greek community to another.
