Abstract
This paper aims to give an overview of the development of the relations between the Aetolian Koinon and Rome through the epigraphic testimonies. Emphasis will be placed especially in the period after the Antiochian War, that is, after 188 BC, since this period remains relatively unknown concerning the internal and ‘international’ politics of the Aetolian Koinon. Moreover, the end of the Antiochian War and the Treaty of Apameia had severe consequences for the Koinon and established more firmly the impact of the Roman res publica over the Greek East. Therefore, it would be interesting to examine the way the Aetolian Koinon was affected by the coming of the Roman power, as it is reflected in the inscriptions.
