A Punic and a Macedonian War
(BCE)

215-Philip V of Macedon and Hannibal of Carthage discuss an alliance in Hannibal's Italian camps, but they cannot agree on a balanced treaty. Philip V leaves Italy without signing an alliance with the Carthaginians.

214-The Romans field another 150,000 men against Hannibal. They are able to send small divisions against the Carthaginians, and Rome wins a few battles in Eastern Italy.

213-Hannibal leads his deteriorating army of 35,000 south into Campania. At the Battle of Elea, some 40,000 Roman troops encircled Hannibal's weakened army and defeated the Carthaginians in Italy, killing Hannibal and killing or enslaving all of his army. The Carthaginian army sends a fresh army of 20,000 into Sicily.

212-The Romans siege Syracuse, a Carthaginian-held city. The city falls after 4 months of siege, and the Carthaginians formally surrender the war, giving up their territory in Hispania and Morocco to the Roman Republic. They are also forced to pay huge reparations.

209-Philip V of Macedon, having built his army and navy during the many years of the Second Punic War, launches an invasion of Caria, a small kingdom in southwestern Asia Minor. Meanwhile the Romans begin to repopulate Hispania and Morocco with Roman citizens.

207-The Roman Senate creates a program giving tax breaks to people who settle in Morocco/Hispania. This leads to a huge population drain of Italy.

206-The Macedonians finish conquering Caria. After conquering Caria, they launch an attack on Epirus in Illyria, creating war with Pergamum and the Aetolian League. This is known as the First Macedonian War.

205-The massive armies of Philip V siege Delphi, while his navy blockades Athens with hundreds of ships. The army of Pergamum sieges Aerus, Macedon.

204-Delphi falls and riots break out in Athens due to the lack of food. The Macedonian army pushes deeply into Epirus, looting and burning many cities. After completely conquering Epirus by the end of the year, the Macedonians switch their military focus to the east, where they begin to assault Pergamum.

203-Pergamum loses its gains in Aerus and its pre-owned territory in Lampsacus. Athens establishes a new satellite government of Macedon. The Romans are angry (and feel threatened) at Macedon's expansio and they declare war on Macedon.

202-Roman troops from Appolinia conquer land in Epirus while behind Macedonian lines, people in Epirus revolt. The Kingdom of Pergamum signs a peace treaty with Macedon, giving up its land in the Bosporus.

201-Early in the year, Macedonian armies take Thebes and then focus all of their military attention on the Epirus Front. They defeat the Romans at Corcyra and win back the region by summer.

200-Macedon sieges Bouthrotos, a city captured by Rome in Epirus. The city falls after three months of siege, and the Romans sue for peace. They surrender their land in Illryia and Corcyra. The Aetolian League absorbs into the Macedonian Empire after this point.
