In 213 B. C. Rome attacked Philip V., king of Macedon, because he had
made a treaty with Carthage, and, after making an alliance with the
Ætolians, the Romans gained some successes over Philip in the First
Macedonian War, ending in 205. The Second Macedonian War (200-197 B. C.)
put an end to Macedon’s supremacy in Greece, by the victory of the
ex-consul Flamininus at Cynoscephalæ, in Thessaly, 197 B. C.
