Is it true that Sparta was first captured by a foreign army in 222 BCE, when Macedon's Antigonus Doson took it after Sellasia?

Yes. A peer-reviewed reference states that Antigonus III Doson was the first enemy ever to enter Sparta after his victory over Cleomenes at Sellasia, and a Wikipedia article on the battle says he became the first non-Spartan general to occupy Sparta in 222 BC.
