Yes, Athenians did pay taxes, although the system was different from modern taxation. Citizens were subject to various forms of taxation, including a wealth tax known as the "eisphora" during times of war. Additionally, there were indirect taxes on goods and services, as well as contributions for public projects and festivals. However, many taxes were often levied on non-citizens, such as metics, who had to pay taxes to live and conduct business in Athens.
