Years: 225BCE - 214BCE
The Romans, in search of iron, copper, precious metals, slaves, and crops, begin to expand into the Balkan Peninsula in the late third century BCE.
The tax burden on both rural and urban populations of the Hellenistic kingdoms rises as the constant military conflicts raise revenue needs.
The Persians, Parthians, and Bactrians meanwhile threaten from the east; and Roman expansionism in southern Italy and the western Mediterranean sets the stage for repeated clashes between Rome and various Hellenistic rulers.
Conflicts between the Roman Republic and the kingdom of Macedonia from 215 BCE cause increasing involvement by Rome in Greek affairs.
