Greek re-enactors - how do you display?

[Paullus Scipio]

I would love to hear more about your experiences being crushed in such a press and any aneckdotes about broken ribs or men that pass out. I have been extrapolating most of my theory from crowds, but I have faced questions as to the ability of hoplite phalanxes to generate such crushing forces. I myself cannot say this is the case with shallower phalanxes, so knowing the depth and other relevant features of the shield walls you have been in will help greatly.

.....an interesting point, and I would love to hear anecdotal evidence too, but does it tell us anything about whether the Greeks deliberately sought to generate such forces? ....this is what you really need some evidence for to support your theories, Paul.....
Meanwhile, I am having fun following in Scipio´s footsteps in Spain.....lots of photos......
