Second Macedonian War
The
Second Macedonian War (200-196 BC) was fought between

Rhodes, and
Philip V of Macedon. The decisive battle was at
Cynoscephalae in Thessaly in
197 BC, when the legions of
Titus Flamininus defeated Philip's Macedonian phalanx. Macedonian control of Greece was shattered, and at the
Isthmian Games in
Corinth in
196 BC, Flamininus proclaimed the freedom of Greece.
