Rutishauser 1998 ABSTRACT This dissertation addresses the possibility that the islands of the Kyklades enjoyed a high degree of economic prosperity during the period of the Second Athenian League (378-338 B.C.E.). This prosperity was directly linked to the membership of the islands in this League, as well as other political and commercial connections between Athens and individual island communities. Loans to these islands from the Temple of Apollo on Delos, that are usually interpreted as the result of a need to pay high levels of tribute to Athens in the fifth century B.C.E., may instead have been the result of Spartan financial exactions from the island states at various times between the end of the Peloponnesian War and the beginning of the Second Athenian League. Sparta may also have contributed to economic hardship in the Kyklades due to her inability to mount regular naval escorts for merchant shipping or to provide an economic marketplace comparable to the Peiraeus at Athens. In contrast, the Athenians appear to have taken steps to increase the economic potential of their Kykladic allies. Athenian control of the Delian loan accounts appears to have resulted in a system of collection that allowed certain islands to remain in airears of u payment of interest. Inscriptional evidence shows that commanders of Athenian garrisons in the Kyklades were often honored by island communities for economic assistance. The existence of decrees such as symbolai and proxenia. both between Athens and certain islands, as well as between the Kyklades themselves, indicate political ties that may have had economic components as well. Additionally, several islands of the Kyklades minted coins during the Second Athenian League whose weight standards could have allowed easy exchange between Greek cities of the mainland and of cities in Asia Minor. Several islands had local mineral products that may have been exploited at this time, and these islands were situated along well- attested ancient trading routes. Recent archaeological surveys on several of the islands appear to also show a high level of agricultural exploitation during this period. Overall the evidence strongly suggests that the Second Athenian League provided a strong economic stimulus to this region. Ill Dedicated to my parents, J. Kurt and Eleanor Rutishauser, without whose love and support this project would never have been completed. IV ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to thank my adviser.
