While the Roman Republic was struggling for survival against the
Carthaginians in the Second Punic War, Philip V of Macedon
attempted to take advantage of its apparent vulnerability by
allying with Hannibal and declaring war. The Romans first negated
this threat by deploying allies to keep Philip occupied in Greece
and Illyria. Once Carthage was defeated, however, the stage was
set for the clash of two of the most successful military systems
of the ancient world, the Roman legions versus the Macedonian
phalanx.
Though sorely tested, the legions emerged victorious from the
epic battles of Cynoscephelae and Pydna. The home of Alexander
the Great fell under the power of Rome, along with the rest of
Greece, which had a profound effect on Roman culture and society.
Like the other volumes in this series, this book chronicles these
wars in a clear narrative, explaining how the Roman war machine
coped with formidable new foes and the challenges of unfamiliar
terrain and climate. Specially commissioned color plates bring
the main troop types vividly to life in meticulously researched
detail.
