1 janv. 362 av. J.-C. - Mantinea

Description:

The Second Battle of Mantinea was fought on 362 BC between the Thebans, led by Epaminondas against the Spartans, led by King Agesilaus II and supported by the Athenians. The battle was to determine which of the two alliances would dominate Greece. However, the death of Epaminondas and his intended successors coupled with the impact on the Spartans of yet another defeat weakened both alliances, and paved the way for Macedonian conquest led by Philip II of Macedon.
