__NOTOC__
Year '''367 BC''' was a year of the [[Roman calendar|pre-Julian Roman calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Tribunate of Cossus, Maluginensis, Macerinus, Capitolinus, Cicurinus and Poplicola''' (or, less frequently, '''year 387 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 367 BC for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the [[Anno Domini]] [[calendar era]] became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.

==== Greece ====
* The [[Thebes, Greece|Theban]] general, [[Epaminondas]], again invades the [[Peloponnesus]], but this time achieves little beyond winning [[Sicyon]] over to an alliance with Thebes. When he returns to Thebes, he is again put on trial, and again acquitted.
* [[Archidamus III]], son of [[Agesilaus II]] of Sparta, commands a [[Sparta]]n army which scores a victory over the [[Arcadia (ancient region)|Arcadia]]ns.
* Theban leader [[Pelopidas]] goes on an embassy to the [[Achaemenid Empire|Persian]] king [[Artaxerxes II]] and induces him to propose a settlement of the Greek states' disputes according to the wishes of the Thebans.

==== Sicily ====
* [[Dionysius I of Syracuse]] dies and is succeeded as [[tyrant]] of the city by his son [[Dionysius II of Syracuse|Dionysius II]]. As the younger Dionysius is weak and inexperienced, [[Dion (tyrant of Syracuse)|Dion]], brother-in-law of the elder Dionysius, assumes control and persuades [[Plato]], whose friendship he has acquired, to train the new tyrant in the practical application of his philosophical principles.
* Dionysius II makes peace with [[Carthage]] on the same terms established after his father's defeat by Carthage in the previous decade.

==== Roman Republic ====
* During the ten-year period that [[Gaius Licinius Stolo|Gaius Licinius (Calvus) Stolo]] is [[tribune]] in [[Rome]] ([[376 BC]] to 367 BC) he does much to reduce the enmity between [[Patrician (ancient Rome)|patricians]] and [[plebs]] by reforming a number of laws. During his term, he proposes the [[Lex Licinia Sextia]], which restores the [[consulship]] to the plebs, requires a plebeian consul seat, limits the amount of public land that one person can hold, and regulates debts. The patricians oppose these laws, though they are now finally passed and take effect from [[366 BC]].
* The temple to [[Concordia (Roman goddess)|Concordia]] on the [[Forum Romanum]] in [[Rome]] is built by [[Marcus Furius Camillus]].
