Lucian writes this in one of his stories:

Quote:I had brought, I may add, two soldiers with me, a pikeman and a spearman borrowed from the Governor of Cappadocia, then a friend of mine, to escort me to the sea

The time would have been mid- second century. What is the difference between a pikeman and a spearman?
