But still to clarify, nobody ever 'took' or 'took over' Sparta. The Roman's reffered to the Spartan's as their 'Cousins' as they had great respect for them and their military accomplishments. Instead the Roman's used the remaining Spartan's to train them and to battle for Rome on missions to rid Rome of any remaining enemies.
As for Phillip II and Alexander of Macedonia, neither set foot in Sparta. The story goes, after refusal of entry to Sparta yet the remainder of Greece allowed Phillip in, Phillip sent the Spartan's a letter claiming that 'If I marched my army down the Sparta, it would flatten Sparta to the ground.' The Laconic wit of the Spartan's simply replied, 'IF'! As to say, Phillip never did and nor did Alexander. After Alexander's accomplishments he returned many gifts to Greece with the exception of the Spartan's, as they stood to defy them.
Sparta simply could not re-populate its army after a crushing defeat to the Thebans led by Epaminondas at the Battle of Leuctra. And so simply slipped away into the history books, and there's not a lot about them as they were warriors not historians.
