The biography of this king is continuous military action. Philip V constantly fought on land and sea, expanded the borders of the country... and then lost everything when faced with the Roman Republic. But the defeat was not final. Philip rose again from his knees, began to recreate the army and tried to return Macedonia to the club of the great ancient powers. He was brave, charming and loved by the people. It is obvious that this is an extraordinary person who learned early to make independent decisions. He had mistakes, insights, crimes and heroic impulses. A new book by S. Cherniavsky tells about the life and deeds of the Macedonian monarch.
