The Battle of Pydna was fought in 148 BC between Rome and the forces of the Macedonian leader Andriscus. The Roman force was led by Quintus Caecilius Metellus, and was the winner of this engagement. The result of the battle played in important role in deciding the outcome of the Fourth Macedonian War. This was the last battle fought by the Greek Phalanx in military history.[1]
