	Chaeronea 338 BC
		The Battle of Chaeronea (338 BC), fought near Chaeronea, in Boeotia, was the greatest victory of Philip II of Macedon.
		The battle itself pitted the classical phalanx of the Athenian and Theban confederates and the Macedonian phalanx of Philip.
		The battle is also of great importance in the fact that it signed the decline of the city-state institution, and the rise of the territorial states; to this it can be added that it prepared the ground to the Macedonian conquest of the Persian Empire a few years later.
