- Pericles, the ruler of Athens, bestows generous wages on all Athens' citizens who serve as jurymen on the Heliaia (the supreme court of Athens).
- Pericles declares that the Delian League’s considerable treasury at Delos is not safe from the Persian navy and has the treasury transferred to Athens, thus strengthening Athens’ power over the League.
- Achaea, on the southern shore of the Corinthian Gulf, becomes part of what is effectively now the Athenian Empire. The Delian League had changed from an alliance into an empire clearly under the control of Athens.
