The battle being now over and the Romans everywhere victorious, Philip retreated towards <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Tempe&groupId=1015&placeId=1786">Tempe</a>.
He spent the following night under canvas at a place called "Alexander\'s Tower" and next day went on to <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Gonni&groupId=606&placeId=1119">Gonni</a> at the entrance of <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Tempe&groupId=1015&placeId=1786">Tempe</a>, and remained there wishing to pick up the survivors of the rout.
The Romans, after following up the fugitives for a certain distance, began, some of them, to strip the dead and others to collect prisoners, but most of them ran to plunder the enemy's camp.
Finding, however, that the Aetolians had anticipated them there and considering themselves defrauded of the booty that was rightfully theirs, they began to find fault with the Aetolians and told their general that he imposed the risk on them and gave up the booty to others.
For the present they returned to their own camp and retired to rest, and spent the next day in collecting prisoners and what was left of the spoil and also in advancing in the direction of <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Larisa&groupId=669&placeId=1225">Larisa</a>.
Of the Romans about seven hundred fell and the total Macedonian loss amounted to about eight thousand killed and not fewer than five thousand captured.
Such was the result of the battle at Cynoscephalae between the Romans and Philip.
