I cambiamenti gestionali dell'economia ateniese fra V e IV secolo a.C.

The role of the economy in Athenian politics has been prominent since the second half of the fifth century BC. The consideration of the political and financial crises that affected Athens has made it possible to detect significant changes in the management of financial resources between the fifth and fourth centuries. We will try to demonstrate how, often, a state of emergency has led to change, even in the long term, transforming initially extraordinary institutions into indispensable means for maintaining the management of the economy. The establishment of extraordinary magistracies, the specialization of public offices, the complexity reached by the Athenian financial system are a non-negligible index.
