* After his election to the [[consul]]ship, [[Titus Quinctius Flamininus]] is chosen to replace [[Publius Sulpicius Galba Maximus]] as the leading [[Roman Republic|Roman]] general in [[Macedon]]ia. He then crosses into Macedonia with his army. Flamininus realizes that future peace depends on breaking the power of king [[Philip V of Macedon]], not merely humbling him. He secures the backing of the [[Achaean League]] and then opens peace negotiations with Philip at [[Nicaea (Locris)|Nicaea]] in [[Locris]]. Though peace proposals are submitted to the [[Roman Senate]], the talks break down, and fighting resumes.
* Titus Quinctius Flamininus' forces manage to push Philip V out of most of [[Ancient Greece|Greece]], except for a few fortresses. He then defeats Philip V in the [[Battle of the Aous]], near modern [[Tepelenë (town)|Tepelenë]] in [[Albania]].
====Syria====
* The [[Battle of Panium]] is fought between [[Seleucid]] forces led by [[Antiochus III the Great|Antiochus III]] and [[Ptolemaic dynasty|Ptolemaic]] forces led by Scopas of [[Aetolia]]. The Seleucids win the battle which allows Antiochus III to obtain entire possession of [[Palestine]] and [[Coele-Syria]] from King [[Ptolemy V Epiphanes|Ptolemy V]] of [[Ancient Egypt|Egypt]]. Though the Romans send ambassadors to Ptolemy V, they are unable to lend him any serious assistance against Antiochus III.
* In the resulting peace, Antiochus III agrees to give his daughter [[Cleopatra I of Egypt|Cleopatra]] in marriage to Ptolemy V.
