Battle of Cynoscephalae(197 BC) : Rome VS Macedon৷ Total War Historical Battle

The Battle of Cynoscephalae, which took place in the early second century BCE, marked a crucial turning point in the Second Macedonian War between the Roman Republic and King Philip V of Macedon. This battle had two significant implications: one in terms of military strategy and the other in the realm of politics. From a military perspective, the Roman legions emerged victorious over the Macedonian phalanx, a historically dominant formation in the eastern Mediterranean dating back to the time of Alexander the Great. On the political front, Rome's triumph at Cynoscephalae solidified its position as the new dominant power in the Greek world, replacing Macedon as the hegemonic force.
