Nevertheless, even in Attica, natural economy was far from having disappeared. Before the Peloponnesian War most of the land-owners lived on the revenues of their estates. When Pericles sold the whole of his harvest together, and obtained his provisions in the city market, this method of domestic economy was remarked as a novelty. About

Syracuse, Leontion, Ambracia, and many other towns are built on territory conquered by arms. The
