    Third Punic War

    By Guest, in News,

    Closing out the Punic Wars and Expansion chapter, we inevitably come to the Third Punic War. Despite Roman victory in the Second War, relations between Rome and Carthage continued to be strained over the next half century. Developments in the east and in Spain kept Rome's focus away from Africa, allowing Carthage to slowly rebuild an economic foundation. By the mid 2nd Century BC the call of "Carthago Delende Est" (Carthage must be destroyed), by Cato the Censor, was the rallying cry that finally bought Carthage to its knees.

    The Fourth Macedonian War and Achaean War were fought at the end of a series of revolts and resistance activities to Roman rule in the east. A Macedonian insurrection by Andricus, in 149 BC, was crushed by Quintus Caecilius Metellus (Macedonicus) and Roman fury was then unleashed upon Corinth and other Greeks in the short but decisive Achaean War.

    Third Macedonian War

    By Guest, in News,

    King Perseus of Macedonia continued in his father's footsteps (Philip V) and resisted Roman authority in his territory. His actions in trying to reverse earlier losses resulted in the Third Macedonian War. His only accomplishments were temporary expansion and his own banishment resulting in the abolition of the Macedonian crown.

    Syrian War

    By Guest, in News,

    As an interlude between the Macedonian Wars and the Third Punic War, the Romans came to blows with Antiochus III, the Seleucid King of Syria. The Syrian War developed from the significant threat that Antiochus posed to Roman power in the east. As a result of the war, the Roman grip on Greece and Asia Minor was established.

    Second Macedonian War

    By Guest, in News,

    The Second Macedonian War ws really a continuation of the first. While Rome spread its influence deeper into the Hellenistic world, it mainly served as a precursor to continuing war in the region with both Macedonia and Antiochus III of Syria. The Second Macedonian war also pitted the Roman Legion vs. the Greek Phalanx, and proved the superiority of the former.

    As Scipio was victorious in Spain, he moved to Sicily to plan the Invasion of Africa, and finally take the war directly to Carthage. Having great success, Hannibal was called home from Italy to make his final stand. At the Battle of Zama, two of the great generals in the history of the world met in an epic struggle. In the final Results of the Second Punic War, Rome stood alone as the great power along the Mediterranean.
