Philip V of Macedon place of death Amphipolis
Final years
However, Rome continued to be suspicious of Philip's intentions.  Accusations by Macedon's neighboring states, particularly Pergamon, led to constant interference from Rome.  Feeling the threat growing that Rome would invade Macedon and remove him as king, he tried to extend his influence in the Balkans by force and diplomacy. However, his efforts were undermined by the pro-Roman policy of his younger son Demetrius, who was encouraged by Rome to consider the possibility of succession ahead of his older brother, Perseus. This eventually led to a quarrel between Perseus and Demetrius which forced Philip to decide reluctantly to execute Demetrius for treason in 180 BC. This decision had a severe impact on Philip's health and he died a year later at Amphipolis towards the end of 179 B.C.
He was succeeded by his eldest son Perseus, who ruled as the last king of Macedon.
