History

Agis ruled as king of Paeonia. He was also a pretender to the Macedonian throne in a time of instability after the death of Perdiccas III of Macedon. In 360–359 BC, Paeonians led by Agis were launching raids into Macedon (Diodorus XVI. 2.5) in support of an Illyrian invasion. He was a contemporary of Philip II of Macedon.[1] After his death in 359/358 BC, he was succeeded by Lyppeius, who became subject to Philip II in 356 BC.
