It was until it struck a rich lode of silver and developed the strongest Greek war fleet, when it assumed a leading role against the Persian Empire, and after it were repulsed, converted the anti-Persian alliance into an empire of its own. It used this power too crudely and lost heavily in a war with the southern Greek Peloponnesian League and also lost its empire and the money it brought in, slipping back to relative unimportance as a second rate power.
