Agesipolis III

The twenty-ninth Agiadai king of the city of Sparta (ruled from 219-215 BCE).

Sparta traditionally had two kings who ruled jointly; one king was required to be a descendant of king Agis I and the other was required to be a descendant of king Eurypon (respectively known as the Agiadai and the Eurypontidai).

Beginning with Leonidas I, the sixteenth Agiadai king who ruled from 490-480 BCE, the names and dates for the Spartan kings became a part of the historical record and are generally accepted as factual.

Prior to Leonidas I the dates for the Spartan kings are extrapolated back from historical times to approximate the time periods in which each king ruled.
