Achaean LeagueThe Achaean League was a confederation of Greek city states in Achaea, a territory on the northern coast of the Peloponnese. An initial confederation existed during the 5th through the 4th century BC. The Achaean League reformed early in the 3rd century BC and played a political and military role in dealings with Macedonia, Sparta, and others. The Romans defeated the Achaeans and dissolved the league in the middle of the 2nd century BC.External links\n*Hannibal and the Punic Wars\n*Encyclopedia Britannica, 1911 |
