The Macedonian Wars
•Fifty years after defeating the Carthaginians, Rome had become the mightiest state in the east, first by conquering Hannibal’s ally Philip V, king of Macedonia;
•Philip’s ambition to dominate the Aegean Sea drew Rome into the Second Macedonian War (200-197 BC), which ended with his defeat.
•Next came the liberation of Greece and a war against Antiochus III, king of Syria, who was defeated by the Romans at Magnesia in 190 BC and obliged to surrender Asia Minor.
•In the Third (and final) Macedonian War, Macedonia was made a Roman province in 146 BC.
