Okay, so the reason the Romans were able to beat the Macedonian phalanx was because of the terrain, which was very rough creating gaps within it, which the Romans exploited by getting within this killing machine which is only really effective facing in one direction.
But consider this hypothetical matchup: 300 of those same Romans at that battle with the same commander up against the 300 Spartans commanded by Leonidas at the Thermopylae pass. Who would win there?
