520    The Hellenistic pike-phalanx was a true military 
       innovation, transforming the face of warfare in the 
       ancient world. For nearly 200 years, from the rise of the 
       Macedonians as a military power in the mid-fourth century 
       BC, to their defeat at the hands of the Romans at Pydna in
       168BC, the pike-wielding heavy infantryman (the 
       phalangite) formed the basis of nearly every Hellenistic 
       army to deploy on battlefields stretching from Italy to 
       India. And yet, despite this dominance, and the vast 
       literature dedicated to detailing the history of the 
       Hellenistic world, there remains fierce debate among 
       modern scholars about how infantry combat in this age was 
       actually conducted.Christopher Matthews critically 
       examines phalanx combat by using techniques such as 
       physical re-creation, experimental archaeology, and 
       ballistics testing, and then comparing the findings of 
       this testing to the ancient literary, artistic and 
       archaeological evidence, as well as modern theories. The 
       result is the most comprehensive and up-to-date study of 
       what heavy infantry combat was like in the age of 
       Alexander the Great and his successors. [Elib]
