Hi to all!
I've stumbled upon a curious statement of Nicholas Sekunda about the nature of Leukaspides in the Antigonid army.
Apparently Sekunda in his "Macedonian Armies after Alexander 323-168 BC" is convinced that the Leukaspides weren't actually part of the phalanx like the Chalkaspides, but instead equipped with thureos (and apparently Thracians).
Apart from his analisys, that I don't find totally convincing, there are other references about this matter?
Thank you in advance!
