Ladoceia

Ladoceia or Ladokeia (Ancient Greek: (τὰ Λαδόκεια), also known as Laodicium or Laodikion (Λαοδίκιον),^[1] was a place in ancient Arcadia, in the district Maenalia, and, after the building of Megalopolis, a suburb of that city. It was situated upon the road from the latter to Pallantium and Tegea. Here a battle was fought between the Mantineians and Tegeatae, 423 BCE, and between the Achaeans and Spartan king Cleomenes III, 226 BCE.^[2]^[3] Thucydides places it in the district of Oresthis.^[1]

Its site is unlocated.^[4]
