The Antigonids
Macedonia did not remain unaffected by the political realignments and territorial claims of the time of the Successors. After repeated fluctuations of her boundaries, Macedonia entered a period of economy and population growth under the Antigonids, and thus maintained her military superiority over the more southern parts of Greece. The political aptitude of her rulers contributed to a resurgence of the Macedonian kingdom's eminence comparable to that enjoyed under Philip II. In the end, however, this growth was not sufficient to stem the expansion of the Romans in the Hellenistic East.
