Heather Henckler | 7 comments So this is an odd and narrow question that I've had trouble finding info on... perhaps Steven or the ancient history buffs among us can offer assistance:

anyone know what type of government delphi had around time of "gates"... from my understanding the region had the Amphictyony to debate matters of the sanctuary, but beyond that I have not found much on the city's governance itself.
Random, I know.
Anyone? Bueller?

Good question, Heather. I don't know the answer but I do know that various contending city-states from time to time would seize Delphi and act as "protectors" for the sanctuary. Philip of Macedon went to war over this. I'd be curious to learn the answer myself. Anyone?
