It was used to maintain a fleet to protect against Persian intrusion against the League member cities.

When peace was made with Persia, Athens used it for its own aggrandisement, keeping the fleet going to collect the money by force if necessary, beautifying Athens (Parthenon etc) and putting half its own populace on the public payroll.
