Filipus V dari Makedonia: Perbedaan antara revisi

Rome's alliance with the [[Aetolian League]] in 211 BC effectively neutralised Philip's advantage on land. The intervention of [[Attalus I of Pergamum]] on the Roman side further exposed Philip's position in Macedonia. Philip was able to take advantage of the withdrawal of Attalus from the Greek mainland in 207 BC, along with Roman inactivity and the increasing role of [[Philopoemen]], the [[strategos]] of the [[Achaean League]]. Philip and his troops sacked [[Thermo, Greece|Thermum]], the religious and political centre of [[Aetolia]]. His troops destroyed 2,000 statues and hauled away vast sums of treasure which included some fifteen thousand [[shield]]s and suits of arms the Aetolians had decorated their [[stoa]]s with. These shields were the armor taken from the enemies of the Aetolians during their previous military victories and included the shields of the [[Gauls]] who had raided Greece in the 3rd century BC.<ref name=" Mackil 2013 ">{{cite book |title=Creating a Common Polity: Religion, Economy, and Politics in the Making of the Greek Koinon |last= Mackil|first= Emily |year= 2013 |publisher= University of California Press |isbn= 9780520953932|quote= When Philip V sacked Thermon in 218, Polybios tells us that his army hauled away some fifteen thousand shields that been laid up in the stoas. Although the number is surely exaggerated, Polybios’s report suggests that the Aitolians had decorated their stoas with armor taken from enemies, and [[Jean Bousquet]] is certainly correct to surmise that at least some of these were Gallic shields taken as booty in 279. Yet the dedication of shields taken from defeated enemies appears to have been a traditional privilege of the Aitolian strategos, and it would be misleading to assume that all or even most of the dedicated armor at Thermon was Gallic. |page= 214}}</ref> Philip V took immense sums of [[gold]] and treasures and then burned down temples and public buildings of the [[Aetolians]].<ref name=" Vandenberg 2007 ">{{cite book |title=Mysteries of the Oracles: The Last Secrets of Antiquity |last= Vandenberg |first= Philipp |year= 2007 |publisher= Tauris Parke Paperbacks |isbn=9781845114022 |quote= Philip V of Macedonia, with whom the Epirotes were in league, exacted terrible revenge for the Aetolian raid the following year. He razed Thermum, the national shrine of the Aetolians and the meeting-place of the Aetolian League, to the ground. Temples and public building were burned down and more than two thousand votive statues were smashed; only statues of the gods themselves were spared. The booty in money and gold was so vast that Philip was able to rebuild his sacred city of Dion at the foot of Olympus, and the Epirotes, the sacred precinct of Dodona, bigger and better than before.|page=37 }}</ref> Philip was able to force the Aetolians to accept his terms in 206 BC. The following year he was able to conclude the [[Peace of Phoenice]] with Rome and its allies.▼
