PHILIP V
238 BC - 179 BC

Philip was the king of Macedonia from 221-179 BC.

He fought in the Macedonian Wars against Rome.

Philip's father was Demetrius II. Philip's mother was Phthia, or Chryseis.

Before Philip, Antigonus III was king of Macedonia. Philip was succeeded by his son Perseus.

200 BC - Rome makes war upon Philip, king of Macedonia. She pretends to take the Greek cities of the Achaean league and the AEtolians under her protection as allies. Philip is defeated by the proconsul Flaminius at the Battle of Cynocephalae, 198; and begs for peace.

The Macedonian influence is now completely destroyed in Greece,
and the Roman established in its stead, though Rome nominally
acknowledged the independence of the Greek cities.
