In 210 BCE, the Greek world is divided among leagues, oligarchs and kings while Macedon and Rome contest control of the wider Mediterranean. Philopoemen believes that the Achaean League can survive only if its citizens reject submission and build an army able to defend their own communities.
Reform turns him into both a national hope and a threat to men who profit from weakness. As Sparta presses from the south and Roman power approaches from the west, Philopoemen must transform political conviction into battlefield discipline and decide how much unity can be imposed without destroying the freedom he means to protect.
