__NOTOC__
Year '''392 BC''' was a year of the [[Roman calendar|pre-Julian Roman calendar]]. At the time, it was known as the '''Year of the Consulship of Poplicola and Capitolinus''' (or, less frequently, '''year 362 ''[[Ab urbe condita]]'''''). The denomination 392 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 ====
* During the [[Corinthian War]], the [[Sparta]]ns dispatch an ambassador, [[Antalcidas]], to the [[Achaemenid Empire|Persian]] [[satrap]] Tiribazus, hoping to turn the Persians against the allies by informing them of [[Conon]]'s use of the Persian fleet to begin rebuilding the [[Athens|Athenian empire]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Kagan |first=Donald |date=1962 |title=Corinthian Politics and the Revolution of 392 B.C. |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/4434762 |journal=Historia: Zeitschrift für Alte Geschichte |volume=11 |issue=4 |pages=447–457 |jstor=4434762 |issn=0018-2311}}</ref> Learning of this, the Athenians send an embassy led by Conon to present their case to the Persians at Sardis.
