The second Macedonian, a 36‑gun frigate, was rebuilt from the keel of the first Macedonian at Gosport (later Norfolk) Navy Yard, Portsmouth, Va., beginning in 1832; and was launched and placed in service in 1836, Capt. Thomas ap C. Jones in command.
Macedonian was assigned to the West India Squadron to cruise in the West Indies and along the west coast of Africa from 1839 to 1847 as a continuing deterrent to Carribean pirates.
In 1852 Macedonian docked at the Brooklyn Navy Yard to be razed and converted to a sloop‑of‑war for the expedition to Japan, 1852 to 1854.

At the beginning of the Second Punic War (218 BC - 202 BC), the balance of naval power in the Western Mediterranean had shifted from Carthage to Rome.
In the First Punic War (264 BC-241 BC), the Carthaginians, a power rooted in sea trade, were able to exploit their strength at sea in their struggles with the Roman Republic.
Since most of the conflict in the war was overseas (especially in Sicily), Rome saw that it needed to build a fleet in order to develop an effective military response.

The roots of both wars cannot be grasped except against the background of globalisation and the exercise of state power in its support.
In the same way, the war against Yugoslavia cannot be understood apart from the broader context of the collapse of the Soviet Empire and the resulting penetration of multinational capital and US state power eastwards.
The second was the overthrow of Slobodan Milosevic in Belgrade – not at all welcomed by Albanian nationalists, who recognised correctly that this would make the demand for full Kosovo independence harder to win.

She told me that she was working on Livy's account of the outbreak of the Second Macedonian War, but we have never discussed these matters in detail.
I proposed that Livy's second Athenian embassy (5.6), occasioned by the invasion of Philocles, in fact came between the two votes of the assembly, and was an important factor in persuading the people to change their mind.
The argument in favour of the immediate second vote implied by Livy is that the senate would not have, in Rich's words[5] 'meekly waited several months before making a second attempt to get its way'.

 Literature in the 20th century
The region's first important literary generation emerged from the pages of the magazine "Macedonian Days" (1932-39) and consisted of prose writers and poets who came of age as the multi-cultural Thessaloniki was vanishing and the Greek city was being born.
If the liberation of 1913 formed the main milestone for this first generation, the Second World War and the Greek Civil War that followed it would leave their imprint on the second.
In addition to the "Macedonian Days", others worth noting are the "Snail" (1945-48), the student journal "The Start" (February-November 1944), the journals "Criticism" (1959-61), "Diagonal" (1958-83), "Tram" (1971-72, 1976-79, 1983) and, more recently, the "Hangout" (1987-).

They had fought against Philip during the Second Punic War (this first Roman war with Philip was called the First Macedonian War), and demanded that he cease seizing Greek territory.
By the middle of the second century BC, it had become apparent to Romans that the empire was a vast money-making machine and empire-building a fabulously lucrative affair.
However, the massive wealth that was created for Rome awoke old tensions between the classes, and the Republic would live in a state of crisis for over a hundred years—a crisis that, at its conclusion, would precipitate the demise of the Republic in favor of a dictatorship.

The two great historical sources about this series of wars are Polybius a Greek historian attached to staff of Scipio Africanus, the Roman hero of the second Punic War, and Livy, a Roman historian who wrote in the late first century AD, using as his sources Polybius and other sources that have since been lost.
This was the war during which the Romans invented the "Corvus" (Latin for "crow"), the ramp with a big spike on the end -- like the hooked beak of a crow -- that allowed Roman land troops to fight at sea.
The second Punic War was dominated by the Carthaginian, Hannibal, who conquered Italy with elephants and controlled the peninsula for a very long time.
