Macedonian Wars

The Macedonian Wars were a series of conflicts fought between the Roman Republic and the Kingdom of Macedon from 214 to 148 BC. They consisted of five main conflicts, occurring as Rome sought to expand its influence in the Eastern Mediterranean. These wars saw alliances shifting, with various Greek city-states involved. The culmination of these wars led to the defeat of Macedon and its eventual annexation by Rome, marking a significant step in Rome's rise as a dominant power in the region and the decline of Hellenistic kingdoms. The outcome reshaped the political landscape of ancient Greece.
