HELLENISTIC AGE 323bc-31bc
During the Hellenistic Age, the Greeks were masters in combat with not only spears and swords, but they also developed catapults as a strong defense. This age is also marked by Alexander the Great. He carried a Greek sword, called the Makhiara, while commanding his armies of over one hundred thousand infantry men. This was also the time period in which the Greeks introduced into their offensive strategy, fighters with javelins. |
