First Macedonian War

The First Macedonian War (214–205 BC) was a conflict between the Roman Republic and the Kingdom of Macedon, primarily over control of Greece. Triggered by tensions from previous wars, Rome sought to curb Macedonian influence after its earlier engagement in the region. Key battles took place, but neither side achieved a decisive victory. The war ended inconclusively with the Treaty of Phoenice, which allowed for a temporary peace, but it set the stage for further conflicts, ultimately leading to the decline of Macedonian power and the expansion of Roman influence in the ancient Mediterranean.
