High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Mantineia was a city in ancient Arcadia in the central Peloponnese that was the site of two significant battles in Classical Greek history. It is also a municipality in modern Arcadia, Greece, with its seat in the village of Nestani (pop. 778 in 2001). It is located in the northeastern part of the prefecture of Arcadia. The municipality has a land area of 205.393 km² and a population of 3,510 inhabitants. Its largest other towns are Artemísi (pop. 654), Loukás (653), and Kápsas (505). The First Battle of Mantinea, in 418 BC, was the largest land battle of the Peloponnesian War. On one side were Sparta and its remaining allies, and on the other were Athens, its allies, plus the cities that had revolted against the Spartans. After Laches the Athenian commander was killed, the battle turned into a rout of the Athenian and allied armies, a result attributed to greater Spartan courage. The Second Battle of Mantinea, in 362 BC, led to the fall of Theban hegemony. In that battle, Athens and Sparta were allied. Thebes won the battle, but its greatest general, Epaminondas, was killed in the fighting.
