Years: 169BCE - 169BCE
The Romans had at first won a number of small victories, largely due to Perseus' refusal to consolidate his armies.
By the end of the year, the tide has changed dramatically and Perseus has regained most of his losses, including the important religious city of Dion.
Perseus then establishes himself in northeastern Greece on the river Elpeus in an unassailable position.
He tries but fails to win the support of Eumenes of Pergamon.
He does, however, succeed in the autumn of 169 BCE in buying the support of the Illyrian king Genthius.
Perseus in the winter of 169/168 vainly begs Antiochus IV of the Seleucid Empire over to his side to join forces with him against the danger that Rome presents to all of the Hellenistic monarchs.
