Years: 205BCE - 205BCE
The Spartan tyrant Nabis, who has deposed Machanidas as regent for the very young Pelops and styled himself king, has carried on the revolutionary tradition of Kings Agis IV and Cleomenes III. (Since ancient accounts of him are mainly abusive, the details of his laws remain obscure, but it is certain that he confiscated a great deal of property and enfranchised many helots.)
Overshadowed by the struggle between Rome and Philip V, Nabis has adroitly maintained his power.
After the Peace of Phoenice between Rome and Macedon, he goes to war in 205 with the Achaean League.
