The siege of Aiginion took place in 168 BC in today's Kalabaka between the Roman Republic and the Macedonian Kingdom. Aiginion was described as a town with formidable defenses, so much so that in 197 BC the Roman General Titus Quinctius Flamininus chose to bypass the town due to its formidable defenses. The siege ended in Roman victory, and the town was subsequently destroyed. The Romans killed everyone they saw.
