<head>Philip Recalled To Macedonia</head>But whilst he was still engaged on this work, news was<note anchored="yes" place="marg" id="note131">Philip recalled to <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Macedonia&groupId=723&placeId=428">Macedonia</a> by a threatened invasion of <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Dardani&groupId=528&placeId=996">Dardani</a>.</note>brought to the king that the <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Dardani&groupId=528&placeId=996">Dardani</a>, suspecting his intention of invading the <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Peloponnese&groupId=861&placeId=1552">Peloponnese</a>, were collecting forces and making great preparations with the determination of invading <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Macedonia&groupId=723&placeId=428">Macedonia</a>. When he heard this, Philip made up his mind that he was bound to go with all speed to the protection of <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Macedonia&groupId=723&placeId=428">Macedonia</a>: and accordingly he dismissed the Achaean envoys with the answer, which he now gave them, that when he had taken effectual measures with regard to the circumstances that had just been announced to him, he would look upon it as his first business to bring them aid to the best of his ability. Thereupon he broke up his camp, and began his return march with all speed, by the same route as that by which he had come. When he was on the point of recrossing the Ambracian gulf from <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Acarnania&groupId=270&placeId=527">Acarnania</a> into Epirus, Demetrius of <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Pharos&groupId=879&placeId=1586">Pharos</a> presented himself, sailing with a single galley, having just been banished from <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Illyria&groupId=647&placeId=1186">Illyria</a> by the Romans,—as I have stated in the previous book.<note anchored="yes" place="unspecified" id="note132"><ref target="b3c19" targOrder="U">3, 19</ref>.</note>Philip received him with kindness and bade him sail<pb n="338" />to <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Corinth&groupId=493&placeId=928">Corinth</a>, and go thence through <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Thessaly&groupId=1028&placeId=1816">Thessaly</a> to <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Macedonia&groupId=723&placeId=428">Macedonia</a>; while he himself crossed into Epirus and pushed on without a halt. When he had reached <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Pella in Macedonia&groupId=858&placeId=1544">Pella in Macedonia</a>, the <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Dardani&groupId=528&placeId=996">Dardani</a> learnt from some Thracian deserters that he was in the country, and they at once in a panic broke up their army, though they were close to the Macedonian frontier.<note anchored="yes" place="marg" id="note133">Late summer of B. C. 219.</note>And Philip, being informed of their change of purpose, dismissed his Macedonian soldiers to gather in their harvest: while he himself went to <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Thessaly&groupId=1028&placeId=1816">Thessaly</a>, and spent the rest of the summer at <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Larisa&groupId=669&placeId=1225">Larisa</a>.It was at this season that Aemilius celebrated a splendid<note anchored="yes" place="marg" id="note134">Contemporary events in <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Spain&groupId=983&placeId=1735">Spain</a> and <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Italy&groupId=656&placeId=1199">Italy</a>.</note>triumph at <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Rome&groupId=935&placeId=1669">Rome</a> for his Illyrian victories; and Hannibal after the capture of <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Saguntum&groupId=938&placeId=1673">Saguntum</a> dismissed his troops into winter quarters; while the Romans, on hearing of the capture of <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Saguntum&groupId=938&placeId=1673">Saguntum</a>, were sending ambassadors to <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Carthage&groupId=441&placeId=820">Carthage</a> to demand the surrender of Hannibal, and at the same time were making preparations for the war after electing Publius Cornelius Scipio and Tiberius Sempronius Longus Consuls for the following year, as I have stated in detail in the previous book. My object in recalling the facts here is to carry out my original plan of showing what events in various parts of the world were contemporaneous.
