Ok thanks for all the help so far guys. :mrgreen:
But I have some more questions where those came from :twisted: . I'm just the kind of guy who wants to be sure about everything, or well, as sure as one can be.
1) The king would fight alongside the Hippeis on the front. Now would the Hippeis fight on the right of the Spartan line or in the center? The right is where usually the heavy troops were placed, though I read on this tread that the Hippeis were put in the center. So in the center of the Spartan Phalanx, not in the center of the entire Lakedaemon Phalanx.
2) The Macedonian Agryspides, I read somewhere that they would usually be put in the center of Macedonian and Seleucid Phalanx. Is this true or would they usually fight on the right next to the Hypaspists?
