In the highlands, people begin to put up large clay platforms, some the basis for temples and others for elite houses, flanking open plazas. | | 229 BC–228 BC | Rome, Greece, Illyria [wars] | Rome becomes embroiled for the first time with the affairs of Greece by taking retaliatory action for the murder of Italian merchants and Roman envoys in Illyria, and for Illyrian piracy in the Adriatic Sea; the First Illyrian War takes place. The Greeks congratulate Rome on quelling the pirates; Antigonus III, the new king of Macedon, is not so pleased, however, and pursues a policy of befriending the Illyrians, a policy continued by his successor Philip V. |
