Ruben, I speculate (and I place odds in the negative) for pike men.
It is uncertain but not unlikely. I too feel more comfortable with spearmen
Carthagenian sacred band...hmmm after Crimissos I read that they were never as numerus or up to former strength and probably they were a group of nobles armed as cavalrymen.
Plutarch on "Timoleon" tell od infantry if I recall corectly.
I will try to find original sources on Agathokles for verification.
Happy New Year
