This is the first full-length study of the final war between Rome
and the ancient Macedonian monarchy and its last king, Perseus. The
Roman victory at the Battle of Pydna in June 168 BC was followed by
the abolition of the kingdom of Macedon - the cradle of Philip II,
Alexander the Great, and the Antigonid monarchs who followed. The
first historian of Rome's rise to world power, and a contemporary
of the war, Polybius of Megalopolis, recognized the significance of
these events in making Rome an almost global power beyond compare -
a sole superpower, in other words. Yet Roman authority did not lack
challenges from lesser states and insurgents in the decades that
followed. The book's meticulous documentation, close analysis, and
engagement in scholarly controversy will appeal to academics and
students, while general readers will appreciate its brisk narrative
style and pacing.
