146
When the Achaean hostages had returned (151) and Callicrates had died (149), the Achaean League attacked Sparta but was crushed by the Roman general Mummius (146). The Roman Senate ordered Mummius to abolish the leagues, substitute oligarchies for all democracies, destroy Corinth, and place Greece under the supervision of the governor of Macedon. This marked the end of Greek and Macedonian independence, though some Greek states retained autonomy for a long time. (See 149–148)	1
