МАКЕДОНСКОТО КРАЛСТВО ВО ВРЕМЕТО НА АМИНТА III
THE KINGDOM OF MACEDONIA DURING THE AMINTA III

Summary/Abstract: The rule of King Amyntas III (393/392–370/369 BC) was marked by a constant struggle for survival of the Macedonian Kingdom. Driven by power and the desire to loot and plunder, as well as the ambitions to expand their holdings and influence, Amyntas’ main rivals were the Illyrians and the Olynthians, and in part the Macedonian pretender to the throne Argaeus and the Thessalians led by Jason of Pherae. The chronology of the events has been considerably disputed, the available sources are scarce, scanty and contradictory in places, so any further research raises new possible debatable questions and assumptions. But regardless of these difficult obstacles, with a critical analysis of the available sources, it is possible to reconstruct the events of this important period of Macedonian history, which is in fact the main goal of this text.
