Statue of King Philip V of Macedon (reign from 238-179 BC) in Skopje Macedonia
Philip V (238-179 BC) was King of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon from 221 to 179 BC. Philip's reign was principally marked by an unsuccessful struggle with the emerging power of Rome. Philip was attractive and charismatic as a young man. A dashing and courageous warrior, he was inevitably compared to Alexander the Great and was nicknamed beloved of the Greeks because he became, as Polybius put it, "...the beloved of the Hellenes for his charitable inclination".
