Did Romans know about Alexander the Great?
#5
Alexander didn't stick to a tactic, he improvised depending the land and the enemy. See his campaigns in Bactria and India. Besides, at the time of Alexander life, Roman manpower was lesser than in Pyrus time: the conquest of the latins was fresh and they could have revolted if Alexander appeared.
Of course we won't be ever sure: a tempest could destroy the macedonian fleet, a lucky veles could struck Alexander, etc.
