Historical background
The Seleucid Empire, one of the successor states of Alexander, relied on a phalanx on the Macedonian model whose soldiers carried the sarissa, a pike several metres long. Its phalangites came mainly from Greek and Macedonian military settlements in Syria and Mesopotamia; the Argyraspides, the Silver Shields, formed an elite. In 190 BC the Seleucid phalanx was defeated by the Romans at Magnesia.
