Editing 214 BC (section)

==== Greece ====
* [[Philip V of Macedon]] attempts an invasion of [[Illyria]] by sea with a fleet of 120 craft. He captures [[Oricum]] and, sailing up the Aous (modern [[Vjosë]]) river, he besieges [[Apollonia (Illyria)|Apollonia]].
* Upon receiving word from [[Oricum]] of Philip V's actions in Illyria, Roman [[propraetor]] [[Marcus Valerius Laevinus]] crosses the [[Adriatic]] with his fleet and army. Landing at Oricum, Laevinus is able to retake the town with little fighting.
* Laevinus sends 2,000 men under the command of Quintus Naevius Crista, to [[Apollonia (Illyria)|Apollonia]]. Catching Philip's forces by surprise, Quintus Naevius Crista attacks and routs their camp. Philip V is able to escape back to Macedonia, after burning his fleet and leaving many thousands of his men dead or as prisoners of the Romans.
