Years: 193BCE - 193BCE
Philopœmon, the Achaean League’s general, desires to control Sparta itself, and finds his opportunity in the revolts in the Spartan seaports instigated by Nabis, following the Roman departure from Greece in 194.
Sparta, recovering its ports, besieges Gythium’s Acraean garrison.
Philopœmon, upon securing a promise of support from Flamininus, marches to Gythium in advance of the Romans to open the campaign.
While the Romans bring the operation to its successful completion in 192, Philopœmon’s forces, failing against Nabis by sea, pursue Nabis’ army toward Mount Barbosthenes, where they nearly annihilate the Spartan forces.
