Spartolus

Spartolos was the chief city of the Bottiaeans, perhaps in Bottike, West Chalcidice. It was a member of the Delian League, under the Thracian phoros, paying 2 or 3,5 talents, until the beginning of the Peloponnesian War, when the Bottiaean and the Chalkidian League revolted against the Athens (see Battle of Chalcidice). It seems however that sometime later it became again an Athenian allied member. The last mention of the city is in connection of the Spartan Teleutias' attack on Olynthus (381 BC).
