Historia

Quinctius Flamininus from taking Sparta; however, following Nabis' assassination, annexed Sparta, Messene, and Elis (192); elected Achaean strategus twice more (191, 189); his severity in dealing with Sparta (notably the abolition of Lycurgus' laws) earned him censure from Rome, which had established a protectorate over the city (198); twice more elected general (187, 183), he was killed in a skirmish with rebels from Messene (182).
