Biography
About
Perseus inherited the Macedonian throne in 179 BC, the final ruler of the Antigonid line that had held the kingdom since Alexander's successors carved up his empire. His reign ran eleven years before Rome forced the showdown. At Pydna in 168 BC, during the Third Macedonian War, his army broke against the legions. The defeat didn't just end his rule—it ended Macedon itself as a sovereign state, collapsing a dynasty and a political identity that had stretched back centuries.
