<head>Plan: Events in Greece</head>Next, after a summary recapitulation of the proceedings of<note anchored="yes" place="marg" id="note10">6. War with Philip, B. C. 201-197.</note>the Carthaginians and Romans in Iberia, <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Libya&groupId=686&placeId=427">Libya</a>, and <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Sicily&groupId=973&placeId=1724">Sicily</a>, I shall, following the changes of events, shift the scene of my story entirely to Greece. Here I shall first describe the naval battles of Attalus and the Rhodians against Philip; and the war between Philip and <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Rome&groupId=935&placeId=1669">Rome</a>, the persons engaged, its circumstances, and result.Next to this I shall have to record the wrath of the Aetolians,<note anchored="yes" place="marg" id="note11">7. Asiatic war, B. C. 192-191.</note>in consequence of which they invited the aid of Antiochus, and thereby gave rise to what is called the Asiatic war against <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Rome&groupId=935&placeId=1669">Rome</a> and the Achaean league. Having stated the causes of this war, and described the crossing of Antiochus into Europe, I shall have to show first in what manner he was driven from Greece; secondly, how, being defeated in the war, he was forced to cede all his territory west of Taurus; and thirdly, how the Romans, after crushing the insolence of the Gauls, secured undisputed possession of Asia, and freed all the nations on the west of Taurus from the fear of barbarian inroads and the lawless violence of the Gauls.Next, after reviewing the disasters of the Aetolians and<note anchored="yes" place="marg" id="note12">8. Gallic wars of Eumenes and Prusias.</note>Cephallenians, I shall pass to the wars waged by Eumenes against Prusias and the Gauls; as well as that carried on in alliance with Ariarathes against Pharnaces.Finally, after speaking of the unity and settlement of the<note anchored="yes" place="marg" id="note13">9. Union of the <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Peloponnese&groupId=861&placeId=1552">Peloponnese</a>.

Throughout the whole narrative it will be shown how the policy adopted by the Romans in one after another of these cases, as they arose, led to their eventual conquest of the whole world.
