Excerpt from The Last Two Kings of Macedon: Extracts From the Fourth and Fifth Decades of Livy
Pyrrhus reigned for barely a year (287 and then was forced to retire by Lysimachus; five years later (281) Lysimachus was killed in battle at Corupedion by Seleucus Nicator, who by this victory re-united under one ruler all the vast empire of Alexander the Great, with the exception of Egypt. Seleucus, how ever, was murdered seven months afterwards by his protégé, the Egyptian prince Ptolemy Ceraunfus, who was accepted as king by the Macedonians and reigned till 279, when he was killed in the great invasion of Gauls under Belgius. A second Gaulish invasion followed, and there was practically an interregnum for two years. Upon the departure of the Gauls the son of Demetrius, Antigonus Conatas, laid claim to his father's dominions, and having defeated the other pretender, a nephew of Cassander, succeeded to the throne, which he occupied till his death in 239, with the exception of two years (27 3-1) when the kingdom was for a second time held by Pyrrhus. The crown of Macedonia remained till the extinction of the mon archy with the House of Antigonus, who, it will be remembered, were not lineal descendants of Alexander the Great. Gonatas was succeeded by Demetrius II. (239 who bequeathed the kingdom to his son, Philip V., and the regency to his first cousin, Antigonus Doson, who was in effect king till his death in 220, when his ward, who was now in his eighteenth year, came to the throne.
