Thanks all for the info.
Not that they used sarissas, but maybe they fought more or less in a hoplite fashion with hoplite style equipment (prior to 275 BC).
And about the gladius, I know it came from Spain, but then I would like to know what did they use before. Kopis, xyphos, any names and models
?
