Second Macedonian War

The Second Macedonian War (200-196 BC) was fought between Rome, allied with Pergamum and Rhodes, and Philip V of Macedon. The decisive battle was at Cynoscephalae in Thessaly in 197 BC, when the legions of Titus Flamininus[?] defeated Philip's Macedonian phalanx. Macedonian control of Greece was shattered, and at the Isthmian Games[?] in Corinth in 196 BC, Flamininus proclaimed the freedom of Greece.
