Events [change]

On Hannibal's advice, Carthage asks for peace with the Romans. This ends the Second Punic War. Carthage is made a client state of Rome.
After peace with Rome, Hannibal is elected as suffet, or chief magistrate, of Carthage. The office was insignificant in Carthaginian politics, but Hannibal makes it powerful.

Philip V of Macedon captures Samos and the Egyptian fleet stationed there. He then makes war on Chios to the north.
Rhodes and its allies Pergamum, Cyzicus, and Byzantium combine their fleets and defeat Philip V in the Battle of Chios. His flagship is trapped and rammed by two enemy ships.
The Spartan king, Nabis, once more invades and captures Messene. The Spartans leave when the Achaean League army of Philopoemen helps. Nabis' forces are defeated at Tegea by Philopoemen.
