CONQUEST OF MACEDONIA AND GREECE.

(171-146.) Although Philip had aided the Romans in their campaign against Antiochus, he did not receive from them the expected reward in additions to his territory.

Immediate resistance would be futile; but he labored patiently and quietly to increase his resources, and to stir up among the neighboring Greeks hostile feeling towards Rome.

He placed his army on the best footing possible, and soon began to enlarge his boundaries.
Complaints were made to Rome, and the king was compelled to give up his conquests, and confine himself to the limits of Macedonia.
