Pimpinus

Interesting sidenote: Philip the V of Macedon adempted to capture Ptolemy the V's empire with the help of Antiochus. I dont know how far Antiochus and Philip went through with this plan but they definitely did not capyure the Ptolemic Empire. Could this possibly have iinfluenced the Syrian Wars?

Not sure, any idea how long the romans stayed?

True, you cant beat anything as beautiful in nature as Ay Petri, that huge mountain that looms over you the whole time. ANything intersting happen there in ancinet times?

I recently visited the Crimea region (southern mountanous peninsula in Ukraine, its in the Black Sea area) and saw some relics of Roman hundreds of years old. I was wondering if anybody knew anything as to why the Romans expanded so far and if anything important happened in the Crimea region.

Did Athens have anything to do with the sack of Corinth? And do you think that the sack of Corinth was as brutal as the destruction of Epirus after the 3rd MAcedonian war?

Thanks frankq. The problem i have is that this particular website has information on the sack of Corinth but it is very vague and not detailed. I was also wondering if you knew why Attalus of Pergamum would give up his territory to the romans and why he didnt just become an ally of Rome.

Hey everybody....I'm really confused right now, i cant find anything specific on the sack of corinth. Does anyone know the intricate details of this event?
