This will be the third in the Roman Conquests series (following Italy and Spain) and one of those with the most obvious appeal.

While Rome was struggling for her very survival against the Carthaginians in the Second Punic War, Philip V of Macedon attempted to take advantage of their apparent vulnerability by allying with Hannibal and declaring war. For the time being the Romans negated this threat by shrewd use of allies to keep Philip occupied in Greece and Illyria. Once Carthage was defeated, however, the Romans were free to turn their full attention to settling the score. The stage was set for the clash of two of the most successful military systems of the ancient world, the Roman legions versus the Macedonian phalanx.

Though sorely tested, the legions emerged victorious from the epic battles of Cynoscephelae and Pydna, and the home of Alexander the Great fell under the power of Rome, along with the rest of Greece, the cradle of Western Civilization, which had a profound effect on Roman culture and society.

Like the other volumes in this series, this book gives a clear narrative of the course of these wars, explaining how the Roman war machine coped with formidable new foes and the challenges of unfamiliar terrain and climate. Specially commissioned color plates bring the main troop types vividly to life in meticulously researched detail.

这将是《罗马征服》系列的第三部（继意大利和西班牙之后），也是其中最具有明显吸引力的一部。

在第二次布匿战争中，当罗马为了生存而与迦太基人斗争时，马其顿的菲利普五世试图利用他们明显的脆弱性，与汉尼拔结盟并宣战。目前，罗马人通过精明地利用盟友使菲利普在希腊和伊利里亚被占领，从而抵消了这种威胁。然而，一旦迦太基被打败，罗马人就可以自由地将他们的全部注意力转向解决这个问题。罗马军团与马其顿方阵这两个古代世界最成功的军事体系的冲突舞台已经搭好。

虽然经受了严峻的考验，但罗马军团还是从西诺斯塞普莱和皮德纳的史诗般的战役中取得了胜利，而亚历山大大帝的故乡则与西方文明的摇篮希腊一起，倒在了罗马的权力之下，这对罗马文化和社会产生了深刻的影响。

与本系列的其他书一样，本书对这些战争的过程进行了清晰的叙述，解释了罗马的战争机器如何应对强大的新敌人以及陌生地形和气候的挑战。特别委托制作的彩图通过精心研究的细节，将主要的部队类型生动地展现出来。
