From 448 BCE (end of the Persian threat) to 404 BCE (end of Athenian dominance in Greece).
It was 'golden' because Athens continued to collect the other city contributions (often by force) for the defence against Persia after the threat subsided. The funds were diverted to glorifying Athens through building and arts, and coincidentally putting half its citizens on the public payroll - a golden era in several ways.
