In the second half of the war Athens assumed leadership of 200 cities threatened by the Persian Empire. It collected annual money contributions from the cities to maintain its fleet which was the backbone of resistance. After the Persians agreed to stay away from the citines, Athens turned the cities into an Empire of its own, continuing to collect thw war funds by force and living high on the hog with that money.
