Philip V of Macedonia assisted the Romans in defeating the Syrians in 190 BCE, but the Romans did not reward him with the lands he conquered. This fostered in Philip V a deep hate for Rome which Philip's son Perseus inherited. When his father died in 179 BCE, Perseus made plans for war and developed relationships with Rome's enemies. Eumenes II, King of Pergamon, made Rome aware of Perseus's plans and a Roman commission was sent in 172 BCE to demand that Perseus cease such activities and make concessions to Rome for his behavior. Perseus refused and Rome declared war.

A Roman army landed in Greece in 171 BCE but failed to win significant victories until the Consul Aemilius Paullus took command. He defeated Perseus at the Battle of Pynda in 168 BCE. To prevent the rise of Macedonia ever again, the Romans divided this ancient kingdom of Alexander into four separate republics. Perseus and his two sons were brought to Rome as trophies of Aemilius Paullus's victory.
