Archidamus

Ashamed of what he had planned to do, and taking up the war afresh, he destroyed countless hosts of the Carthaginians,[*](Dio. Sic. 14.72.6, says the shore was strewn with corpses.) strengthened his authority over his subjects, acquired far greater dominion than he had possessed before, ruled with absolute power until his death,[*](Dionysius died in the spring of 367 B.C.) and left his son in possession of the same honors and powers as he himself had enjoyed.
