Macedonia, Roman Protectorate, Quaestor Gaius Publilius, 168 - 167 B.C.
|Pella|, |Macedonia,| |Roman| |Protectorate,| |Quaestor| |Gaius| |Publilius,| |168| |-| |167| |B.C.|, On 22 June 168 B.C., Lucius Aemilius Paullus won the Battle of Pydna, ending the Third Macedonian War. According to Plutarch, Paullus kept too much plunder for himself, displeasing his legions. On his return to Rome, to keep them happy, Paullus stopped in Epirus, a kingdom suspected of sympathizing with Macedonia. He sacked 70 towns, enslaved 150,000, and left the region bankrupt. Paullus' return to Rome was glorious. With the immense plunder, he celebrated a spectacular triumph, featuring the captured king, Perseus of Macedonia. The senate awarded him the cognomen Macedonicus.
