Boiotia, Greece, Boiotian League, c. 225 - 171 B.C.
|Boiotia|, |Boiotia,| |Greece,| |Boiotian| |League,| |c.| |225| |-| |171| |B.C.|, After the destruction of Thebes by Alexander in 335 B.C., the Boeotians never again pursued independent policy, but followed protecting powers. Unable to defend its frontiers, the land became more than ever the "dancing-ground of Ares." Boeotia was generally loyal to Macedon, and supported its kings against Rome. Devastation during the First Mithridatic War was a death-blow to the country's prosperity. Rome dissolved the league, but it was revived under Augustus and merged with the other central Greek federations in the Achaean synod. - Wikipedia
