Best Answer

Greece was not a unified state. There were kingdoms and independent city states in mainland Greece and Greek kingdoms in Western Turkey, in Syria and in Egypt. The first Roman victory over a Greek state was in the First Macedonian War (214-205 BC) where Rome defeated the kingdom of Macedon, the largest and the dominant state in mainland Greece.

What people conquered Greece around 44 BC?

By 44 B.C. (or B.C.E.), Greece had already been under Roman control for over 100 years. It still served as an occasional battleground. For instance, the Battle of Pharsalus occurred in 48 B.C.E. between Roman legions under the control of Julius Caesar and a mixed force of Romans and allied troops (with support from sympathetic Greeks) commanded by Pompey. Taking place in central Greece, it resulted in a victory for Caesar; however, it was a short-lived triumph as, just four years later, in 44 B.C.E., Caesar was assassinated in the Roman Senate.
