Hello,<br>
<br>
in the book Warfare in the classic world, the writers says that in the battles between the roman s and the Greeks, the Greeks suffered heavy psychological damage. This was caused becuase the Romans had a different type of warfare. The Greeks were more familiar with clean, small wounds due to the use of the phalanx (more pushing with large spears, little close combat). The Romans focused on close combat with special swords (with terrifing wounds such as chopped of limbs et cetera as a result). The writers says that the Greeks were not familiar with this type of warfare.<br>
