Niceas of Taras was born in 351BC in the Greek Polis of Taras, an apoikia of Sparta. He was born to one of the leading Oligarchs of Taras, Xenares. As the first born son of one of the richest men in Taras Niceas’ upbringing was essentially sheltered, with only a little of the formal training at arms that any citizen was required to do. When Niceas was 15 the moderate democracy of Taras was overthrown, and a Oligarchic council of 200 seized power in a (relatively) bloodless coup. This Government, whilst never spectacularly popular was met with universal acceptance so long as Taras, or rather its citizen elite, remained prosperous.
