Caesar probably. The ability of his legions to throw volleys of javelins in rapid succession could break even the formations of Alexander the Great. With their formation shattered, the Macedonians would be rendered completely helpless, and would quickly be obliterated.<br>
<br>
On the other hand, if the Macedonian formation holds strong, the enormous <em>sarissas</em>(spears) of Alexander's men would annihilate Caesar's men. But it is very unlikely that such a tight formation would hold together during the Roman volleys.<br>
<br>
Overall, I say Caesar has a 70% chance of winning.Long live Caesar! <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p200.ezboard.com/bromanarmytalk.showUserPublicProfile?gid=praetorianguardsman@romanarmytalk>praetorianguardsman</A> at: 1/15/05 8:58 pm<br></i>
