Laconicus

Laconicus (Greek: Λακωνικός; reigned in 192 BC) was the last known king of Sparta. Laconicus was appointed as a king after the murder of Nabis. He was a boy, possibly of royal descent, who had been raised with Nabis' own sons.^[1] After the Achaean general Philopoemen captured the city in 192 BC, Sparta was forced to join the Achaean League and the position of king was abolished.^[2] After Laconicus was deposed his fate is unknown.
