435 BCE

The newest Athenian colony is disconcertingly close to another outpost of Corinthian influence at Potidaea in the Chalcidice, and there is a possibility that Athens subjects Potidaea itself to financial pressure by the mid-430s.

An anomaly in being both tributary to Athens and simultaneously subject to direct rule by magistrates sent out annually by Corinth, Potidaea clearly is a sensitive spot in international relations.
