Abstract

The present essay analyses Athenian finances during the fourth century BC, the primary level of allocation and distribution, which the Athenians called merismos, and the management of surplus. According to a city’s law, the surplus and/or unallocated revenues were assigned in time of war to the military fund, in time of peace into the Theoric fund. Demosthenes and Apollodorus tried, in many occasions, to transfer the surplus to the war fund even in peace time. During one of these attempts Apollodorus was publicly accused and tried. We will investigate which was the accusation charged against him and why he lost the trial.
