Yes, during the "Hellenistic period" (5th century BC) it was easy to cover behind your shields, though when they were attacking in front and with missiles you had kind of a problem. But I can't imagine the Macedonians covering behind their shields while marching on. Much smaller shields, longer spears which needed two hands, and so on.<br>
