Historical background
The armies of the pharaohs already relied on spearmen with shields, fighting alongside archers and chariots. Under the Ptolemies the warrior class of the machimoi supplied native soldiers; in 217 BC Ptolemy IV had many of them trained as a Macedonian phalanx for the battle of Raphia. Their share in the victory boosted the Egyptians' confidence against their Greek masters.
