Events

Roman world

  • Rome conquers Fidènes, head of bridge of Véies on the the Tiber. Twenty years truce between Rome and Véies.

Greek world

  • Sparte invades the Attique during 15 days but the troops are recalled following the occupation of Pylos by Athens.

  • Demolished Sparte with Sphactérie in front of the troops of Athens directed by the general Démosthène.

    • the Athénienne fleet which went to Corcyre is forced by the storm to make slackening with Pylos, or it builds fortifications. Demosthene is authorized to remain there with five trières, recessed by two trières of Naupacte. Messéniens de Naupacte are on the point of causing disorders in Messénie. Sparte intervenes, fails in front of Pylos but seizes the island of Sphactérie which orders the port. The Athenian fleet, of return of Corcyre, besieges the Spartans in the island. A truce is signed, and the Spartans are obliged to give up in Athens their fleet of 60 ships throughout negotiation. Cléon causes the failure of the peace negotiations and demolishes the Spartans in the Sphactérie island. The Athenians threaten to kill the 120 Spartans captive in the event of new invasion of the Attic.
  • Cléon becomes the Master of Athens after his victory (425 - 422 av. J. - C.)

  • Massacre of 2000 Hilotes by the Spartans, demoralized by the demolished of Sphactérie. These massacres are the reflection of the fear of the Pars, which are increasingly minority in their State.
  • Purification of Délos: The childbirth and the burials are prohibited on the island.

Science & technology

  • Use of a optical Telegraph by sets of torches.

  • Appearance in Greece of a Mill with arm, imported of minor Asia: a stone disc swivels to the top of an other of conical form.
