2. The Roman conquest of Greece
Unlike previous conquests, the Roman conquest of Greece was long-drawn and fiercely fought.
Almost immediately after the end of the second Punic war the Romans attacked Greece.
King Perseus of Macedon resisted them for years
The conquest of Greece took 50 years of almost constant warfare, and it is a testament to the tenacity of the Romans.
After the battle of Corinth (146 BC) the whole of the Greek peninsula becomes Roman territory
In the same year the Romans destroy Carthage, and thus they complete the subjugation of their two ancient rivals for the supremacy of the Mediterranean.
