Year192 BC was a year of thepre-Julian Roman calendar. At the time it was known as theYear of the Consulship of Flamininus and Ahenobarbus (or, less frequently,year 562Ab urbe condita). The denomination 192 BC for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when theAnno Dominicalendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.
TheAchaeans respond toSparta's renewed interest in recovering lost territory by sending an envoy toRome with a request for help. In response, theRoman Senate sends thepraetor Atilius with a navy, as well as an embassy headed byTitus Quinctius Flamininus.
Not waiting for the Roman fleet to arrive, the Achaean army and navy head towardsGythium under the command ofPhilopoemen. The Achaean fleet under Tiso is defeated by the Spartan fleet. On land, the Achaeans are unable to defeat the Spartan forces outside Gythium and Philopoemen retreats toTegea.
When Philopoemen reentersLaconia for a second attempt, his forces are ambushed by the Spartantyrant,Nabis, but nevertheless Philopoemen manages to gain a victory over the Spartan forces.
Philopoemen's plans for capturing Sparta itself are put on hold at the request of the Roman envoy Flaminius after his arrival in Greece. In return, Nabis decides, for the moment, to accept the status quo.
Nabis then appeals to theAetolians for help. They send 1,000 cavalry under the command ofAlexamenus to Sparta. However, the Aetolians murder Nabis and temporarily occupy Sparta. The Aetolian troops seize the palace and set about looting the city, but the inhabitants of Sparta are able to rally and force them leave the city. Philopoemen, however, takes advantage of the Aetolian treachery and enters Sparta with his Achaean army. Now in full control of Sparta, Philopoemen forces Sparta to become a member state of theAchaean League.
Seleucid forces under their king,Antiochus III, invade Greece at the invitation of theAetolian League, who are revolting against the Romans. The Aetolians appoint him commander in chief of their league. Antiochus lands inDemetrias,Thessaly with only 10,500 men and occupiesEuboea. However, he finds little support for his cause in central Greece.
