Enter Rome, Exit Macedonia
The chapter traces Rome’s involvement in Greece and Philip’s growing military strength, including his alliance with Hannibal of Carthage in the Second Punic War against Rome. Rome’s first clash in Greece against Macedonia—the First Macedonian War—is recounted, and then events leading to the more fateful Second Macedonian War, which involved Athens on Rome’s side against Philip, culminating in Philip’s defeat in battle by Rome. Punitive measures against Macedonia are discussed, heralding the demise of Philip to Rome, and then the so-called Roman proclamation of Greek freedom by the general Flamininus and what it meant for the Greeks and more ominously, Rome. That Rome could do this demonstrates Rome’s power in the Greek world.
