Uscana, Perseus and the Romans: Livy and the chronology of war operations in the Third Macedonian War

The author is trying to solve the chronological problems of Livy’s information on the war operations in the region around and north of Lake Lychnidus during the Third Macedonian War. The focus is on the period between 170-169 B.C., namely, the problems regardingLivy’s information on Perseus’ counterattack on Roman positions at the turn of 170/169 B.C., Roman control over the city of Uscana and one un-documented Perseus’ attack on Dardanians in 170 B.C. The author concludes the events in question have a mutual connection, proposes new chronological course of events and emphasizes the importance of Livy’s 43rd book for the study of the consequences of the war operations north of Lake Lychnidus during the Third Macedonian War.
