Rome conquers Greece (jan 1, 214 BC – jan 1, 146 BC)

Description:

The Roman Empire conquered Greece in a series of military campaigns that spanned several decades, from the 2nd century BCE to the 1st century BCE. The process of Greece coming under Roman control can be summarized as follows:

Macedonia: The Roman Republic first became involved in Greek affairs during the Macedonian Wars, which took place between 214 BCE and 148 BCE. These wars culminated in the defeat of King Perseus of Macedonia in 168 BCE and the subsequent incorporation of Macedonia as a Roman province in 146 BCE.

Achaean League: The Roman Republic also intervened in the affairs of the Achaean League, a confederation of Greek city-states. In 146 BCE, after the League's defeat in the Achaean War, Corinth, one of its prominent cities, was destroyed, and Greece was effectively under Roman control.
