This volume challenges the perception that the Macedonian presence in Corinth resulted in a loss of significance and autonomy for the city, arguing that Corinth flourished while Macedon possessed the city. It explicates the nature of their relationship in the aftermath of Chaironeia through to the declaration of Greek Freedom at Isthmia in 196 B.C. It also draws upon a wide range of evidence to place Corinth within the broader Hellenistic world. This study, the full first treatment of the city in this period, contributes significantly to the growing body of work focusing on the Hellenistic world and is a crucial resource for specialists in late Classical and early Hellenistic history.
