  Philip V of Macedon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Philip V was king of Macedonia from 221 BC to 179 BC.
The son of Demetrius II and Chryseis, Philip was nine years old at his father's death in 230-229 BC.

From this time on the thought of the Roman state was bent upon conquest for the sake of adding territory and new tribute-paying subjects to the state, for the sake of the money to be made there by her wealthy men, for the sake of booty for her soldiers and glory for her generals.

 Macedonia FAQ: Flamininus And The Peace Settlement With Philip V Of Macedonia
This passage describes the peace settlement that was drawn up after the Romans' decisive victory over Philip [V] at Cynoscephalae in 197 B.C. At this time the ten commissioners who had been appointed to handle the affairs of Greece arrived from Rome bringing the decree of the Senate concerning the peace settlement with Philip.
Philip was to hand over to the Romans before the beginning of the Isthmian Games[1] those Greeks who were subject to his rule, and also the towns which he had occupied with garrisons.
Within the same time limit Philip was to restore to the Romans all prisoners of war and deserters and to surrender all his warships, with the exception of five light vessels and his huge flagship, in which the men rowed eight to an oar.
