When was the age of Pericles?

Answer 1

Pericles did not rule Athens - it was a democracy so the people ruled - attending assemblies every couple of weeks to vote on legislation. Pericles was effectively First Citizen, that is he wielded a lot of influence, but not so much that he had to orchestrate the exile of Thucydides son of Melesias who had organised a political party (first one on record) to oppose him in the assembly. Pericles' influence began in the 450s BCE, and ended with his death in 429 BCE.

Answer 2

The Golden Age of Athens- The leading statesman in the period of the Athenian Empire was Pericles (ca. 490?-429 B.C.), an aristocrat who had the support of the common people. Since the archonship was no longer a position for an ambitious man, Pericles held only the post of general, to which he was reelected from 443 to 449. The era from 450 to 429 was so strongly marked by his leadership, that it is often called the Age of Pericles.
