Events
- Philip V of Macedonia is decisively defeated by the Romans under Titus Quinctius Flamininus in the Second Macedonian-Roman War in the Battle of Kynoskephalai . That means the end of Macedonian hegemony in Greece .
- The Iberian Peninsula was divided by the Romans into the provinces Hispania citerior and Hispania ulterior (the nearer and more distant Hispania), where ulterior was the south and west, citerior was the east (the north, i.e. the stretch of land between the Pyrenees and Galicia) , remains independent until the time of Caesar). The division is one of the reasons for the war of the Celtiberians against the Romans ( Celtiberian War ), which began in the same year .
