The Last Kings of Macedonia and the Triumph of Rome
by Ian Worthington; read by Gareth Richards
Viewed as postscripts to the kingdom's heyday, the last Macedonian kings (Philip V, his son Perseus, and the pretender Andriscus or Philip VI) have often been denounced for self-serving ambitions, flawed policies, and questionable personal qualities.
