After peace was made with Persia, Athens continued to maintain a fleet and send it out to continue to levy the annual contributions of the Grek cities in the anti-Persian league which it led, effectively converting the alliance into an empire.
These funds were spent maintining the enforcement-fleet, beautifying Athens and subsidising its cultural activities, and keeping half its people on the public payroll.
