Aetolicum Foedus

(τὸ κοινὸν τῶν Αἰτωλῶν). A confederation of the Aetolian towns, afterwards joined by other towns and cantons of Greece, and formed in B.C. 338, after the battle of Chaeronea, to counteract the influence of Macedonia in the affairs of Greece. (See Achaean League.) Its political existence was destroyed in B.C. 189 by the treaty with Rome by which the Aetolians became Roman subjects.
