<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">At the height of its fifth-century empire, Athens established numerous colonies, or cleruchies, among its subjects. As widely recognized, the expropriated lands served to deter revolt. This paper
focuses on the colonies' domestic effects. It is likely that cleruchies enriched some elite Athenians, provided land for non-elite Athenians, and took these citizens out of political processes in Athens. The phenomenon of the cleruchy, therefore, tested egalitarian
political institutions in the imperial democracy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
