Pavel Oliva,
Sparta and Her Social Problems (1971), pp. 88f. The
gerousia consisted of 28 members (
gerontes), elected by the citizens’ assembly (
apella). This is a lunar number, and Thucydides (
I.67) said that the
gerousia met each lunar month at the full moon. Perhaps there was a daily rotation of the leaders during this period. The council amounted to 30 with the two kings.
