greek armies during the Rome\'s conquest of greece
#1
Hi

I would like to know how greek armies looked like during Rome's wars in Greece. Periods First Macedonian war (214-205 BC), 2nd Macedonian War (200-196 BC)
were armed.

For instance, the achaean league was armed like hoplites? or more like macedonian looking phalangites?

I've read that Nabis' forces surely were armed like phalangites.

i've read that the aetolians during the peloponessian war were armed like peltasts. from what i've seen about their performance at thermopylae against the romans, i think it is safe to say they still were armed like that during the macedonian wars?

any good books on it? (am reading roman conquests Macedonia and Greece now)
