After the victory over Sparta, the Theban general Epameinondas called back the Messenians who had fled from Spartan rule and were widely scattered and founded in 369 BC. BC with them Messene as the capital of the new state of Messenia. Messene still had some importance in the Roman Empire. The remains of a basilica provide evidence of a settlement dating back to the early Byzantine period.
