Amphipolis, Macedonia, c. 187 - 31 B.C.
|Amphipolis|, |Amphipolis,| |Macedonia,| |c.| |187| |-| |31| |B.C.|, In 168 B.C., Rome invaded Macedonia and overthrew King Perseus in the First Battle of Pydna. In 149 B.C., Andriskos, the ruler of Adramyttium, claiming to be Perseus' son, announced his intention to retake Macedonia from the Romans. Andriskos traveled to Syria to seek military help from Demetrius Soter. Demetrius handed him over to Rome. Andriskos escaped from Roman captivity, raised a Thracian army, invaded Macedonia, and defeated the Roman praetor Publius Juventius in 149 B.C. Andriskos then declared himself King Philip VI of Macedonia. In 148 B.C., Andriskos conquered Thessaly and made an alliance with Carthage. In 148 B.C., in what the Romans called the Fourth Macedonian War, he was defeated by the Roman praetor Q. Caecilius Metellus at the Second Battle of Pydna. He fled to Thrace, whose prince gave him up to Rome. Andriscus' brief reign over Macedonia was marked by cruelty and extortion. After this, Macedonia was formally reduced to a Roman province.
