SUMMARY
Macedonian king (319-239 BC), architect of the restoration of the Macedonian state. He was virtually the first Antigonid to transfer the locus of political power from Asia Minor to Macedonia. Before ascending to the throne (277 BC) he had cooperated with notables of Asia Minor. He possibly made a campaign in Caria in 268 BC and he renewed the Aegean maritime policy of his ancestors, Antigonus I Monophthalmos and Demetrius I Poliorcetes. |
