Perseus arouses widespread alarm in Greece by visiting Delphi with his army after subduing a revolt in Dolopia (the region in Greece between Thessaly to the northeast and Aetolia to the southwest),

Renewing former connections with some southern Greek city-states (poleis), the king announces that he can carry out reforms in Greece and restore its previous strength and prosperity.

Perseus’s activism initiates a stream of complaints to the Roman Senate from neighboring Greek powers from 175 BCE onward. (The king's real intentions are unclear; perhaps Polybius was right that he wished to make the Romans “more cautious about delivering harsh and unjust orders to Macedonians.”)
