Philip V of Macedon

Philip V of Macedon was a king who ruled from 221 to 179 BC. He belonged to the Antigonid dynasty and is known for his efforts to revive Macedonian power after its decline following Alexander the Great's empire. Philip engaged in conflicts known as the Macedonian Wars against the rising influence of Rome, seeking alliances with various Greek states. His reign was marked by military campaigns and political maneuvers, ultimately leading to the weakening of Macedon. Despite his initial successes, he faced challenges from Roman expansion, which would lead to significant changes in the political landscape of the Mediterranean.
