Events

The Romans defeat Gentius, the last king of Illyria, at Scodra.

June 22 - Third Macedonian War ends with the Battle of Pydna. Romans under Lucius Aemilius Paullus (awarded the surname "Macedonicus" for this victory) defeat and capture Perseus of Macedon when he surrendered. This ends the Antigonid dynasty, one of the three successor empires created upon the death of Alexander the Great, and starts Roman domination of Greece.

Antiochus IV Epiphanes of Syria withdrew from the conquered Egypt upon Roman demand, thus acknowledging virtual Roman suzerainty.
Antiochus IV Epiphanes of Syria outlaws Judaism, launches an attack against the Great Temple in Jerusalem, and tries to persuade Jews to worship pagan idols.
