Quote:I think a frontal attack on a unit with sarissai was suicidal. With shorter weapons it depended on the moral of the units involved. A flank or rear attack would have however produced nearly always devastating results (for the infantry). Apart from that why did the argyraspides form the big square at Gabiene?

Or the square formed by the Seleucid phalanx at the above mentioned battle of Magnesia?

Ἐπὶ τοὺς πατέρας, ὦ κακαὶ κεφαλαί, τοὺς μετὰ Φιλίππου καὶ Ἀλεξάνδρου τὰ ὅλα κατειργασμένους

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