Macedonian victories against romans…
So, I’ve recently been delving into the world of roman intervention in the greek world, and all the conflicts/battles that accompanied it. I know of the disastrous macedonian defeats like Cynoscephalae, Pydna, Magnesia etc. Could someone please provide battles the macedonians/Seleucids/etc actually won against the romans?

Yes, I'm afraid. There have been a couple of deaths in the last few years but there are very few members left who still contribute. Alexander doesn't seem to be a particularly hot topic these days!
Anyway, I was thinking about your query and a starting point might be Heckel's Who's Who. There is an online copy here https://archive.org/details/whoiswho_202205, but there are other options to download it. It mostly deals with events in Alexander's lifetime, but by looking at the Diadochi, it might give you some hints as where to look. The William Smith Dictionary will cover much more of the Roman period https://archive.org/details/newclassicaldict00anthiala and should point you in the direction of where to look.
PS I have moved this post to the Diadochi section.

Thank you for your reply! I will check the links. Speaking of members, where are Paralus, Xenophon and Agesilaos?

I am so saddened to hear this.I know I had wonderful correspondence with them in my past threads many years ago. I guess they now have all the answers to everything they ever wanted to know about Alexander, now that they entered the heavenly realm
