Livy and the Gladius vs Macedonians
#2
According to Livy, Macedonians were used to seeing nice neat puncture wounds, not body parts strewn all over the battlefield. It seems to be part of the prejudice that the Romans had towards the Greeks - i.e. that they were girly sissies who can't fight like "real men".
