Athenian Decree for the Island of Andros

The stele bears an Athenian decree from 357/356 BC that sets out economic and military measures for Andros, an ally of Athens: the funding of an already existing garrison on the island through the contributions of the allies; the dispatch of a strategos ; the task of collecting money from the nearby islands. This would represent a clear violation of the charter of the Second Athenian League, which prohibited a return to the practices of the Delian League. However, in the context of the Social War, the document should be considered as the communication of a decision requested and shared with the Allies aimed at securing Andros.
