| Summary: |
The Last Kings of Macedonia and the Triumph of Rome provides a chronicle of the last three kings of Macedonia: Philip V (r. 221-179), his son Perseus (r. 179-168), and the pretender Andriscus or Philip VI (r. 149-148). Far from being a mere postscript to Macedonia's Classical greatness or collateral damage in Rome's ascendancy in the east, Philip and Perseus should be remembered for heroically striving to preserve their kingdom's independence against staggering odds. |
