Historical background
The phalanx was a tightly closed battle line of heavy infantry, at first of Greek hoplites with round shield and spear. Philip II of Macedon armed it with the long sarissa, and so it carried Alexander's conquests and remained the backbone of the Hellenistic armies. On broken ground it was vulnerable and lost to the legions at Cynoscephalae in 197 and Pydna in 168 BC.
