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. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 647 7 Macedonian War (3rd)|d(171-168 B.C.)|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1004688 648 7 510-30 B.C.|2fast 650 0 Macedonian War, 3rd, 171-168 B.C.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85079294 650 7 HISTORY|xAncient|xGreece.|2bisacsh 651 0 Rome|xHistory|yRepublic, 510-30 B.C.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85115114 651 0 Macedonia|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85079267 651 7 Europe|zMacedonia.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1242198 651 7 Rome (Empire)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204885 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|z1107104440|z9781107104440 |w(OCoLC)991315828 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1578705|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
