| Agesipolis II |
| The twenty-second Agiadai king of the city of Sparta (ruled from 371-370 BCE). |
| Sparta traditionally had two kings who ruled jointly; one king was required to be a descendant of king Agis I and the other was required to be a descendant of king Eurypon (respectively known as the Agiadai and the Eurypontidai). |
| Beginning with Leonidas I, the sixteenth Agiadai king who ruled from 490-480 BCE, the names and dates for the Spartan kings became a part of the historical record and are generally accepted as factual. |
| Prior to Leonidas I the dates for the Spartan kings are extrapolated back from historical times to approximate the time periods in which each king ruled. |
