Macedonian Wars 215-168 BC

The Macedonian Wars were fought between the Roman Republic and the Kingdom of Macedonia.

The Chapters of the Macedonian Wars

There were FOUR different conflicts:


First Macedonian War
The First Macedonian War was fought 215-205 BC.

Macedonian King Philip V allied with Hannibal from Carthage, who was himself involved in a war against Rome, the Second Punic War. Brilliant timing, thought Philip, and went ahead to invade Illyria, formerly under Roman domination. The Romans were unable to defend their territories. The Peace of Phoenice in 205 BC concluded the war.

The Macedonians won the First Macedonian War.


Second Macedonian War
The Second Macedonian War was fought 200-196 BC.

Philip kept going for more territories, the Romans told him to stop, Philip couldn't hear on that ear. The Battle of Cynoscephalae in 197 BC was part of this war. Led by General Titus Quinctius Flamininus Rome won the battle and the war.

The Romans won the Second Macedonian War.



Third Macedonian War
The Third Macedonian War was fought 171-168 BC.

Rome noticed Philip's successor Perseus trying to ally himself with a number of Greek rulers. The Romans decided it was time for yet another war. Roman general Lucius Aemilius Paullus sent the Macedonians packing at the Battle of Pydna in 168 BC.

To drive the point home, the Romans took Perseus prisoner and made Macedonia pay annual tribute.

The Romans won the Third Macedonian War.



Fourth Macedonian War
The Fourth Macedonian War was fought 149-148 BC.

Perseus' son Andriscus thought the arrangement with Rome stunk and hence the Fourth Macedonian War was next on the timeline.

Roman General Quintus Caecilius Metellus straightened the Macedonians out and Macedonia became a Roman province.

The Romans won the Fourth Macedonian War.
