Macedonia before Philip II
#1
hi

i find many books covering the armies from philip II, the diadochi and alexander the great.

but how did the armies look like before philip II? philip II invented the sarissa-wielding phalanx but how did they look like before him?

hoplites? peltasts? armed peasants with pitchforks?

i would like to hear your thoughts on this one.
