Roman–Greek wars

The Roman-Greek wars were a series of conflicts between the Roman Republic and Greek kingdoms and city-states.

The list includes:


 * The Pyrrhic War (280–275 BC), which ended with the victory of the Romans and the conquest of the epirotians territories in the south of the peninsula, despite the earlier victories and costly successes by the king Pyrrhus of Epirus, regarded as ‘Pyrrhic victories’ (making the origin of this term).
 * The First Macedonian War (214–205 BC), which ended with the Peace of Phoenice.
 * The Second Macedonian War (200–197 BC), during which the Romans declared "the freedom of Greece" from the Macedonian Kings.

 * The Third Macedonian War (171–168 BC), after which Macedonian territory was divided into four client republics.
 * The Fourth Macedonian War (150–148 BC), after which Macedonia was formally annexed.
 * The First Mithridatic War (89-85 BC), during which Rome fought with Pontus over control of Anatolia.
 * The Second Mithridatic War (83-81BC), which ended indecisively.
 * The Third Mithridatic war (73-63 BC), in which Rome conquered the Pontic kingdom and Syria.
