Rome against Philip and Antiochus
The Peace of Phoenice was intended to give Rome a free hand in Africa by closing the Balkan front. The peace terms seemed to secure the safety of the Straits of Otranto, therefore to protect Italy from Philip. Antiochus III was setting out to restore Seleucid control over western Asia Minor. Philip paid as little attention to Lepidus' arrogant protestations at Abydus as he had to the message of the legati sent via Nicanor from Athens. Antiochus' …
Rome and Greece to 205 B.C.
The Romans had had state-to-state contacts, both friendly and unfriendly, with Greek communities and kings of the Greek world east of the Adriatic for many generations before the first trans-Adriatic military adventure in 229 BC.

This chapter discusses the Illyrian War between Rome …

Bias in Ptolemy's History of Alexander
Arrian's enthusiasm for Ptolemy's account of Alexander has often been echoed in modern times. With much justification it is generally agreed that Arrian's account of Alexander, through its reliance on the works of Ptolemy and Aristobulus, is our best and, on the whole, most reliable account of Alexander. Recent work, however, has illuminated Ptolemy's weaknesses, and we can no longer regard Ptolemy as utterly reliable in every important respect. …
The Chronology of Polybius' Histories, Books I and II
Two important recent studies have independently tried to show that Polybius was consistent in his use of accurate Olympiad chronology in his introductory books I and II. Werner uses his demonstration as a means to his reconstruction of the early years of the Roman Republic, Pédech uses his as part of his attempt to show that Polybius, throughout the whole of his work, consistently used accurate Olympiad dating. As the arguments of each are indepe…
