The end of the Hellenistic period is variously attributed to the Roman conquest of the Greek peninsula in 146 BC and Octavian’s defeat of Ptolemaic Egypt in 31-30 BC. The Roman conquest of the Greek peninsula (146 BC) saw Rome annex Macedon, sack Corinth, dissolve the Greeks’ political leagues and enforce peace between Greek cities. Roman power in Greece provoked opposition, but it proved lasting. The Hellenistic world became progressively dominated by Rome. Octavian decisively defeated their Ptolemaic force at the naval Battle of Actium in 31 BC, establishing the future emperor Augustus as the most powerful man in the Mediterranean. In 30 BC, Octavian succeeded in conquering the last great centre of Hellenistic Greece in Alexandria, Egypt. The defeat of Ptolemaic Egypt was the final stage in the Hellenistic world’s submission to the Romans. Roman civil wars brought further instability to Greece before it was directly annexed as a Roman province in 27 BC. It is generally agreed that Rome ended the Hellenistic era around 31 BC through its conquests.

The time period called Ancient Greece is considered by some historians to begin with the Greek Dark Ages around 1100 BC and end when Rome conquered Greece in 146 BC. Other historians start with the 776 BC Greek Olympic Games, after ancient Greece had formed themselves into hundreds of independent Greek city-states, each with their own way of doing things. Ancient Greece was at its pinnacle from 776 BC to 146 BC. The Romans attacked the ancient Greeks at the Battle of Corinth. The Romans won. Alexander the Great conquered the ancient Greek city-states in 338 BC. But it was the Romans who ultimately brought an end to the independence of the ancient Greek city-states. The Hellenistic Age began with Alexander's death and ended about 200 years later when the Romans conquered the Mediterranean region and beyond.

Years of internal wars weakened the once powerful Greek city-states of Sparta, Athens, Thebes, and Corinth. The city-states of Ancient Greece had different governments and were constantly changing alliances. Greece was divided into city-states, constant warring between the city states weakened Greece and made it difficult to unite against a common enemy like Rome. Rome rose to power and became stronger than the individual city-states of Greece. The Greeks were finally defeated at the Battle of Corinth in 146 BC. Rome completely destroyed and plundered the city of Corinth as an example to other Greek cities. From this point on Greece was ruled by Rome. Although the Romans conquered the Greek peninsula in 146 BC, they did not take control of Egypt until 31 BC, some historians consider this to be the end of the Hellenistic Period.
