ABSTRACT
Ptolemy, regent in Macedon for Perdikkas, died in 365 and Perdikkas succeeded in his own right. e achievements of Perdikkas, which included keeping the Athenians out of Amphipolis (cf. Aischin. 2. 29), and the reorganization of Macedonian harbour dues in 361/0 through the agency of the Athenian exile Kallistratos (Ps.-Arist. Oec. 2. 22, cf. p. 252 for his exile) are overshadowed by the disaster in 359 in which he lost his life and 4000 men to the invading Illyrians under King Bardylis (Diod. 16. 2). e new king was Philip II (see Figures 18.1 and 18.2).
