From Book 45

[45.1] Perseus was captured by Aemilius Paullus at Samothrace.

[45.2] When king Antiochus [IV Epiphanes] of Syria, besieged king Ptolemy [VI Philometor] and queen Cleopatra [II] of Egypt, and envoys were sent by the Senate to order Antiochus to leave the country of Ptolemy, and Antiochus had received the message and replied that he would consider what to do, one of the envoys, Popilius, drew a circle around the king with his staff, and ordered that the king should reply before he left the circle.

[45.3] As a result of this rude behavior, Antiochus abandoned the war.

[45.4] [167] Embassies of nations and kings were permitted in the Senate to congratulate,^note[To congratulate Rome with its Macedonian victory.] but the Rhodians were excluded because they had been against the Roman people during this war.

[45.5] When the next day a declaration of war was discussed, the envoys pleaded for their country, and were sent away, neither as allies, nor as enemies.

[45.6] When Macedonia had been organized as a province, Aemilius Paullus celebrated a triumph, although his own soldiers were against it because they had received little booty and Servius Sulpicius Galba was against it as well; Perseus and his three children walked in front of the chariot. 

[45.7] As if to ensure that Paullus would not enjoy the triumph completely, it was between the funerals of his two sons: one of them died before the triumph of his father, the other afterwards.

[45.8] The censors performed the lustrum ceremony.

[45.9] 312,805 citizens were registered.

[45.10] King Prusias [II] of Bithynia came to Rome to thank the Senate for its victory over Macedonia, and recommended his son Nicomedes to the Senate.

[45.11] The king, who was full of admiration, declared himself to be a freedman of the Roman people.
