The Makedonian phalanx -- why such depth?
Quote:Rather than continue to "hijack" this thread...

That's a triffle strong! I'm not al-Qaeda you know.

I thought it was quite fun. The original observation was the synaspismos phalanx allowing the chariots to pass through. This still fascinates me.

Perhaps there are others who'd like to know more about your "splitting" locked-shields phalanx or the Agrianes?? (about which you are thoroughly incorrect) I certainly do as I can't quite get the "splitting" picture. Perhaps I was tired and slow last night but it seems I still am this morning.

Wicked men, you are sinning against your fathers, who conquered the whole world under Philip and Alexander!
