Resumen de Agyrrhios Beyond Attica: Tax-Farming and Imperial Recovery in the Second Athenian League.
In light of the emerging institutionalist economic history of Athens, this study explores the political and economic resilience of Athens at the center of the Second Athenian League by linking the imperial pedigree of cleruchies to a new sensitivity for the performative components of fiscal policy. The paper argues that Agyrrhios' Grain-Tax Law of 374/3 BC was a necessary part of imperial recovery and that the Aiakeion was a monument to a rebranded imperial project. It develops along the way the practical importance of foreign merchants to the collection of cleruchic taxes from the islands of Lemnos, Imbros, and Skyros.
