Abstract: In 1817, August Böckh asserted in his book The Public Economy of Athens that ancient Athenians prefered spending their money to support theirs festivals to funding their military expenditures. Since, many new sources, mostly epigraphic, lead to reassess Böckh's thesis for the 430-350 BC period. The verdict is unambigous : the military expenditures were by far the main item of expenditure in classical Athens.
