 As a member of the Achaean federation Sicyon remained a stable democracy until the dissolution of the League by the Romans in 146 BC.In this period Sicyon was damaged by two disastrous earthquakes in 153 BC and 141 BC.The destruction of Corinth (146 BC) brought Sicyon an acquisition of territory and the presidency over the Isthmian games; yet in Cicero's time it had fallen deep into debt.
