The two hundred fragments of these stelai which have survived are the only evidence for these cult objects, gifts to Athena, and treasures of the city, since the items themselves have long since vanished - either stolen, melted down, or disintegrated. This volume presents the evidence for these ancient treasures for the first time, and provides data with important implications for the history of Athens and Greek religion. Chapters include a history of the treasures on the Acropolis, catalogues of each object kept in the Opisthodomus, Proneos, Parthenon, Hekatompedos Neos, and Erechtheion, and an analysis of the individual worshippers and allied-city states who gave gifts and offerings to their goddess, Athena.

The discovery in 1914, while excavating the Erectheum, of several small fragments of inscription forms the basis of this study. This text recorded the detailed accounts of money borrowed from Athena and "the other gods" during the years 426/5 to 423/2 B.C. Because it also specified the timing of the repayments, the inscription provided valuable insights into the official dating scheme used by the Athenian state. It is presented in full in the first half of this book. The second half moves on to explore other pieces of evidence for the Athenian calendar, senatorial and civil, during the Peloponnesian War.
