Amphipolis, Macedonia, c. 187 - 31 B.C.
|Amphipolis|, |Amphipolis,| |Macedonia,| |c.| |187| |-| |31| |B.C.|, After Rome defeated Perseus of Macedonia in 168 B.C., Amphipolis became the capital one of the four merides (mini-republics) created by the Romans out of the kingdom of the Antigonids. In 149 B.C. Andriskos, claiming to be Perseus' son, declared himself King Philip VI of Macedonia, conquered Thessaly, and allied with Carthage. After Andriskos was defeated in 148 B.C., in what the Romans called the Fourth Macedonian War, the merides were dissolved and Macedonia was formally reduced to a Roman province.
