The site of an early battle between the Greeks and the Macedonians is the Battle of Chaeronea, which took place in 338 BCE. This significant conflict occurred near the city of Chaeronea in Boeotia, Greece, where Philip II of Macedon led his forces against a coalition of Greek city-states. The battle resulted in a decisive victory for the Macedonians, marking the decline of Greek independence and paving the way for Macedonian dominance over Greece.
