 Battle of Aegospotami - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Aegospotami was the last major battle of the Peloponnesian War.
Since the Spartan constitution prohibited any commander from holding the office of navarch more than once, he was appointed as a vice-admiral instead, with the obvious understanding that he was to command.
The location was less than ideal because of the lack of a harbor and the difficulty of supplying the fleet, but proximity seems to have been the primary concern in the minds of the Athenian generals.

Several other sea battles followed, Notium and Mytilene were small Spartan wins, Arginusae a large Athenian win, and finally the Battle of Aegospotami where Lysander surprised the Athenian fleet and annihilated it.

Expecting an eventual Persian response to recapture Cyprus, he cultivated the friendship of the Athenians, and after Conon's defeat at the Battle of Aegospotami he provided him with a refuge.
He took part in the battle of Cnidus of 394 BC, in which the Spartan fleet was defeated, and for this service his statue was placed by the Athenians side by side with that of Conon in the Ceramicus.
The war then turned in the Persian favor when Evagoras' fleet was destroyed at the Battle of Citium, and he was compelled to flee to Salamis.

So this date is given in many references, including Mommsen who devotes several pages to this battle and the subsequent sack of Rome in Book I. While Polybius mentioned the battle by way of fixing the beginning of his history, he did not describe it.
The battle and sack is also described in a convoluted way by Plutarch in his Life of Camillus - see any edition of Plutarch's Lives of the Greeks and Romans.
Another result of the disastrous battle and sack was that the need for a larger army was apparent and that meant extending service, and hence citizenship, to more people.

Lysander was put in charge of the Spartan fleet in the Aegean, based at Ephesus (407 BC) when Alcibiades rejoined the Athenian side towards the end of the Peloponnesian War.
Not coming from a wealthy family it is not known how Lysander came to be entrusted with command, but in his first year as admiral (406 BC) he won a sea battle at Notium and obtained support for the Spartan cause from Cyrus the Younger, Persian viceroy and son of the Cyrus the Great.
Spartan law forbade him from serving a second term so he was nominally second in command, but the de facto Spartan leader, at the Battle of Aegospotami in which the Athenian fleet was destroyed (405 BC).

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Lepanto
Subsequently, it passed in turn to the Achaeans, the Thesbians, and to Philip Macedon, who gave it to the Ætolians; hence it was sometimes called the "city of the Ætolians" (Strabo, IX, iv, 7).
The crusaders lost 17 ships and 7500 men; 15 Turkish ships were sunk and 177 taken, from 20,000 to 30,000 men disabled, and from 12,000 to 15,000 Christian rowers, slaves on the Turkish galleys, were delivered.
Though this victory did not accomplish all that was hoped for, since the Turks appeared the very next year with a fleet of 250 ships before Modon and Cape Matapan, and in vain offered battle to the Christians, it was of great importance as being the first great defeat of the infidels on the sea.
