August Boeckh's work, first published in 1817, is still regarded as
one of the most thorough treatments of the economic structures of
Athenian society. Boeckh makes exhaustive use of the epigraphical
and literary sources he has at his disposal and covers a wide range
of topics. Volume 2 consists of the source material upon which
Boeckh bases his findings about the Athenian economy. There are
extracts from the accounts of the 'holy funds', and others from
statements that detail the income and expenditure of the Treasury
of the Athenians at Delphi. Other documents relate to the upkeep of
the Parthenon and other temples; and to trade agreements such as
that made between Athens and the island of Kea, detailing the
removal of red stone from the island to the city. Boeckh also
investigates the effect of the Peloponnesian War on the economy.
This reissue is of the 1886 edition.
