In The Last Kings of Macedonia and the Triumph of Rome, Ian Worthington reassesses these three kings and demonstrates how such denunciations are inaccurate. Producing the first full-scale treatment of Philip V in eighty years and the first in English of Perseus and Andriscus in more than fifty, Worthington argues that this period was far from a postscript to Macedonia's Classical greatness and disagrees that the last Antigonid kings were merely collateral damage in Rome's ascendancy in the east. Despite superior Roman manpower and resources, Philip and Perseus often had the upper hand in their wars against Rome. As Worthington asserts, these kings deserve to be remembered for striving to preserve their kingdom's independence against staggering odds.
Ian Worthington is Professor of Ancient History at Macquarie University. His many publications include Athens after Empire, Ptolemy I, By the Spear, and Demosthenes of Athens and the Fall of Classical Greece. He has served as Editor-in-Chief of Brill's New Jacoby since 2003, and in 2019 and 2020 was elected a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society (London) and the Society of Antiquaries (London), respectively.
