In reply to this Philip followed a very different line of argument from that recently used against the Thessalians and Perrhaebians: With the Maroneans or with Eumenes, he said, I have no debate, but now, Romans, the debate is with you, from whom I have for some time observed that I receive no fair treatment. The cities of the Macedonians which had revolted from me during the trucePossibly the truce of 197 B.C. (XXXII. xxxvi. 8), but the revolt has not been mentioned before. I deemed it right that I should recover, not because it would be an important addition to my kingdom —for they are small towns and, moreover, situated on theB.C. 185 farthest frontiers —but because it was a valuable precedent for holding within bounds the other Macedonians. This was refused me. During the Aetolian war, ordered by the consul Manius Acilius to besiege Lamia, after I had been wearied for a long time by the siege and battles and when I was on the point of scaling the walls, I was re

The DolopiansFor Philip's recent acquisition of Aperantia and Dolopia, cf. XXXVI. xxxiii. 7. In the latter case it was a re-conquest, since Dolopia had been freed from Macedonian control in 196 B.C. (XXXIII. xxxiv. 6). had never been subjects of the Aetolians, but belonged to Philip. At first they rushed to arms, but after they learned that the Amphilochians were with the Aetolians, that Philip had been driven from Athamania and his garrison destroyed, they too went over from Philip to the Aetolians. Having set up these buffer-states and believing that they were now safe from the Macedonians on all sides, the Aetolians received the news that Antiochus had been defeated in A

In Gaul the praetor Marcus Furius, seeking in peace the appearance of war, had disarmed the Cenomani,The Cenomani had been quiet since their defeat by Cethegus in 197 B.C.

The praetor was ordered to restore their arms to the Cenomani and to leave the province. Then ambassadors from the allies of the Latin confederacy, who had assembled from all Latium in great numbers from every side, were granted an audience by the senate. When they complained that a great number of their citizens had migrated to Rome and had been assessed there,The allied cities and the Latin colonies, whose status was similar, were under obligations to Rome, in accordance with their several tre

Quintus Terentius Culleo the praetor was instructed to search them out, and, on receiving from the allies proof that any person or the father of such personSince only heads of families were listed, the omission of this provision would have opened the door to persons who moved to Rome in the lifetimes of their fathers. had been assessed among the allies in the censorship of Gaius Claudius and Marcus LiviusThey were censors in 204 B.C.

aving arranged matters in Cephallania and stationed a garrison at Same, crossed to the Peloponnesus, whither the Aegians especially and the Lacedaemonians had long been summoning him. From the beginning of the Achaean League the meetings of the assembly had all been called for Aegium, whether this was a tribute to the importance of the city or the convenience of the place. This custom Philopoemen, in this year for the first time, was trying to break down, and was preparing to propose a law that the meetings should be held in all the cities which belonged to the Achaean League in rotation. And at the approach of the consul, when the damiurgi of the cities (they are the chief magistrates)Cf.

Flamininus had concluded a treaty withB.C. 189 Nabis, tyrant of Lacedaemon, in which it was provided, among other things, that Nabis should surrender his holdings on the coast (XXXIV. xxxv —xxxvi); the Achaean League had assumed, without explicit authority, so far as the evidence shows, the enforcement of this provision when, in 192 B.C., Nabis had undertaken to obtain an outlet to the sea (XXXV. xxv —xxx). After the assassination of Nabis by the Aetolians in the same year, Philopoemen had taken Lacedaemon into the Achaean League (XXXV. xxxvii. 2), where its status was somewhat uncertain. Philopoemen's own policy was definitely anti-Laconian, and the unsettled question of the banished Spartan aristocrats was a continual problem (XXXVI. xxxv. 7).
