Peloponnesus, LacedaemonPeloponnesus, Lacedaemon. C. Julius Eurycles. 31-7 B.C. Æ as (21.8~23.1mm, 7.83 g, 12 h).

Gaius Julius Eurycles or Eurycles of Sparta (born in Sparta; fl. 1st century BCE), was "hegemon of the Lacedaemonians" (Λακεδαιμονίων ἡγεμών), a benefactor of Greek cities, and founder of the family of the Euryclids.
Eurycles was the son of Lachares. His father was executed on charges of piracy by Marcus Antonius. Eurycles led a small naval contingent provided by Sparta to Octavian at the battle of Actium. He also outfitted his own ship from his own money. For his distinction in battle he was rewarded with Roman citizenship and the title of Λακεδαιμονίων ἡγεμών by emperor Augustus. In the late 1st century BCE,
Eurycles behaved strangely and caused trouble in many Greek cities, which led to his banishing by Augustus. In the early years of Tiberius' reign, after his death, Eurycles was fully rehabilitated in Sparta. Gaius Julius Laco was his son.ddwauOct 18, 2023
