Historical artwork depicting the Battle of Battle of Pydna

The Roman consul Lucius Aemilius Paullus defeated King Perseus of Macedon in a battle that ended the Antigonid dynasty and Macedonian independence. As the Macedonian phalanx advanced over uneven ground, gaps opened in the formation. Roman legionaries charged into these gaps with their short swords, where the long sarissa pikes were useless at close quarters. Over 20,000 Macedonians were killed in under an hour.

After Pydna, the Roman consul Aemilius Paullus wept at the sight of the defeated King Perseus, reportedly reflecting on the fragility of human fortune and the fickleness of fate.
