Answer

The Chremonidean War, fought from 267 to 261 BCE, was a conflict between the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt and the Antigonid Kingdom of Macedon. The cause of the war was the rivalry between the two kingdoms over control of the Aegean Sea and influence in mainland Greece. The war ended with the Treaty of Naupactus, which largely restored the status quo ante bellum.
