The Agora The publication of decrees in the Agora was rare before the Lycurgan period. It became more popular in the period 352/1-322/1, in the periods reaching 8.3%, and was the most common place of publication after 229 BC (see table 1). The rising proportion set up in the Agora of decrees is in part due to the introduction of new genres of honorary decree. Honorary for prytaneis and bouleutai were inscriptions of Demetrius of Phaleron.22 Of the decrees published annually only after the overthrow containing the (IG II2 983 lines 10-11), or in the case of the decree regulating the treaty with the Lacedaimonians of and the decree regulating the at this location, or other prominent line 44, 1055 lines 24-5), placement significance and augmented the religious protection bestowed by

of the erection of Athenian state decrees outside Attica was highly sensitive to factors frequency as the existence of an empire, Athens' relations other states and in particular Delos, and the of Athenians in the affairs of other cities (see tables 1 and 7). The participation setting up both inside and outside Attica of treaties was rare, but continued until the mid-third century (IG II2 687 of 268/7). such far as bilateral

As

treaties go, the most common place of publication is in both Athens in the Akropolis and in the other city in a temple of some kind,38 or in a place relevant to the Athenians.39 The setting up of Greek inter-state treaties at inter-state sanctuaries was a commonplace and is known at activity, Delphi and Isthmia.40 Decrees or fourth century alliance of the Athenians were century empire 1453; cf. ibid. on states of the fifth concerning regulations set up in the states of the Athenian hegemony (e.g. IG I3 also in Athens.41 The practice of inscribing honorary in the fifth century but became more common after the
