Philip V, (born 238 BC—died 179, Amphipolis, Macedonia), king of Macedonia from 221 to 179, whose attempt to extend Macedonian influence throughout Greece resulted in his defeat by Rome. His career is significant mainly as an episode in Rome’s expansion. The son of Demetrius II and his wife Phthia (Chryseis), the young prince was adopted, after his father’s death in 229, by his half-cousin Antigonus Doson, who took the throne. Philip succeeded upon Antigonus’ death (summer 221) and soon won renown by supporting the Hellenic League in its war against Sparta, Aetolia, and Elis (220–217). In 215 Philip, allied with Hannibal, the Carthaginian general who was invading Italy (Second Punic War) attacked the Roman client states in Illyria and initiated 10 years of inconclusive warfare against Rome (First Macedonian War). The Romans countered his moves by an alliance with the Greek cities of the Aetolian League, but Philip effectively aided his allies. When the Romans withdrew in 207, he forced an independent settlement upon Aetolia (206) and concluded the war with Rome on favourable terms (Peace of Phoenice, 205).
