Summary
"This book is a history and reassessment of the last three Antigonid kings of Macedonia: Philip V (r. 221-179), his son Perseus (r. 179-168), and the pretender Andriscus or Philip VI (r. 149-148). They are not as immediately known as their predecessors Philip II (r. 359-336) and Alexander the Great (r. 336-323), who established a Macedonian empire that extended as far as India. By the time Philip V became king, Macedonia was no longer an imperial power and Rome was fast growing its dominance over the Mediterranean. The last kings are denounced for self-serving ambitions, flawed policies, and questionable personal qualities by hostile ancient writers. They are condemned for defeats by Rome that saw both the end of the Antigonid monarchy and the fall of the formidable Macedonian phalanx before the Roman legion. They are viewed as postscripts to the kingdom's heyday and even subsumed within Rome's expansion in the east"-- Provided by publisher.
