Besides Gytheion/Gytheum in 192[size=85:1hrohyt4]BC[/size] - wasn't there a battle of sorts at Sparta between Flamininus and Nabis in 195[size=85:1hrohyt4]BC[/size]?
I think it resulted in a confused action over a couple of days when Nabis beat the Romans off for a while before they forced his mercenaries back into the city. Again, this information is available in Montagu's book.
