After the defeat of the Persian invasion of mainland Greece in 479 BCE, Athens organized an anti-Persian league to protect the cities around the Aegean Sea from Persian intervention. It had its treasury on the island of Delos in the temple of Apollo there. At its peak, there were about 180 city-states in the league, spread around the coast of Asia Minor, Thrace and the Islands, including the islands of Samos, Lesbos, Chios, Rhodes, and such cities as Miletus, Byzantium, Ephesus, Priene etc.
