Quote:Machinidas, for the first time on a battlefield, employed artillery against the Achean phalanx.
Deployed, rather than employed! Smile It doesn't seem to have been used in the battle.

Quote:Phokians had used artillery against Philip II and it is the only time that the beat him.
It is possible (some of us would say probable Smile ) that Polyaenus' "stone-throwers" were humans rather than machines!
