Lecture 24 link is dead, so is Hellenism in Macedonia.

Prose Suggestions[edit]

Lede[edit]

" Following the Roman victory in the Third Macedonian War and house arrest of Perseus of Macedon in 168 BC," may want to extend the link to include the "victory" part, but that's just personal preference.

Sources[edit]

"The earliest known government of ancient Macedonia was that of its monarchy, lasting until 167 BC when it was abolished by the Romans." Seems somewhat awkward to me, perhaps "The earliest known government in ancient Macedonia was their monarchy, which lasted until 167 BC when it was abolished by the Romans."

Reply

@Iazyges: hi Iazyges! Sorry, I forgot about this review being active, due to much of my time and attention being absorbed by the FA review for Macedonia (ancient kingdom). I have edited the article per your suggestions, and removed the "Hellenism in Macedonia" dead link, although the "Lecture 24" one is not a dead link. I don't know why you mentioned that one. In either case, if you have more suggestions, feel free to list them here! Regards, --Pericles of Athens^Talk 16:45, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
