Roman swords vs Greek swords

[hoplite14gr]

Weapons simply adapt to tactics.

From 1700 BC to 700 BC. the warrior class in used long swords. First bronze and then iron

With the general usage of the phalanx tactics and the need to fight in the crammed spaces of a tight formation a shorter weapon will do the job. Also no elaborate swordplay was required.

There are no super weapons. Just a good combination of training, disipline and tactics.

Kind regards
