| | Athenian Empire (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07) |
 | | In 454 BC, suppossedly due to an increase in Persian and pirate activity, the Athenians moved the treasury of the League from Delos to Athens, further consolidating their control over the League. |
 | | In 451 BC, possibly continuing into 450 BC, the Athenians waged a campaign against the Persians by land and sea, destroying a Phoenecian fleet and a Persian army, supposedly on the same day, in a climatic battle on the Eurymedon river in Asia. |
 | | The Second Athenian Empire, a maritime self-defense league, was founded in 377 BC and was led by Athens; but Athens would never recover the full extent of her power, and her enemies were now far stronger and more varied. |
