Diodorus writes:
"The actual use of these arms confirmed the initial test and from the success of the experiment won great fame for the inventive genius of the general."
It seems, without a doubt, that Iphicrates' reforms in arms and armour(pelta, long sword, long spear, etc..) were used....
Some believe that these troops where never used....
What are your thoughts..?
