Athems was in continuous wars through the 5th and 4th Centuries BCE. Its prosperous period came after the war ended against Persia, but having converted the anti-Persian Delian League into an empire of its own, it came into continual conflicts with these 180 citiy-states each year, colecting the annual funds by force. The records of Athens show losses each year in these enforcement battles.
With these enforced funds, Athens was able to become prosperous, but continued to engage in warfare with other city-states, keeping 100 warships at sea each year. As a result of its interference with other cities outside its empire, it became engaged in the devastating 27-year war against the Peloponesian League led by Sparta. It lost this war, was stripped of its empire and the easy money which it brought.
It had a period of peace when it was incorporated into the Roman Empire, but never the level of prosperity that warfare had brought it.
