On the 6th of December 2019, the Forvm Romanvm club once again had the pleasure to host what is now a traditional simulation of an Ancient Greek trial, guided by a dear guest, Prof. Victor Castellani of the University of Denver. This year, sitting at the dock of the Athenian court was none other than Anaxagoras, the famous Greek philosopher. He was accused of serious transgressions – sophism, atheism, blasphemy and spoiling the youth of Athens, all due to his controversial teachings that were a thorn in the flesh for a group of more conservative Athenian citizens. The participants in the simulation were first-year students, members of the expert group for Comparative Legal Traditions: Viktor Radomirović was the magistrate, speaking for the accusers were Petra Stanojević, Martin Marek and Anđela Ristanović, and for the accused Nikola Gašparić, Jovana Jovanović and Stefan Dobraš; Prof. Castellani was Anaxagoras himself. Although the atmosphere in the court was very tense, the jurors (represented by our Forvm members in the audience) found Anaxagoras not guilty, showing that Athens was, after all, a progressive polis which understood and appreciated the value of science and the freedom of thought and speech.
