WARNING: Some of the content of this page is incorrect. For example, Romulus did not found Rome, he was a myth. Rome was also brought down because of social issues, invasions from Germanic tribes, among other causes. While I can't prove this page is -entirely- incorrect, I advise you to use this resource at your own risk. -- unsigned, 206.255.62.188.

Macedonian or Greek?

[edit source]

An anonymous user changed the text, I reverted but edited the text to reflect the distinction between Greece and Macedonia. The user reverted and asserted the "Macedonian" claim more strongly.[2] The distinction between Greece and Macedonia appears to be strong and important to some, however, the IP editor is apparently exaggerating as to the history of the phalanx. From w:Phalanx and w:Macedonian phalanx and w:Ancient Macedonian army, the phalanx was developed by the Greek city-states and further developed by the Macedonians, their neighbors. I reverted. If the user wants to develop resources distinguishing between Greek and Macedonian culture and technology, that would be fine, if done with overall neutrality, I would assist on request or necessity. I'd recommend registering an account! --Abd (discusscontribs) 13:58, 5 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Many minor spelling issues, some gibberish

[edit source]

"The soldier then drew his sword and put his shield in front of him the Gauls attack in the last moment the Romans in the first line strikes the enemy with his shield he then raises his shield goes under the shield and stabs the enemy in the stomach he then goes to the side the soldiers in the 2 row steps in the enemy retreats then soldiers in the first row rotates and places themselves in the last line this meant that the enemy would always fight rested soldiers.” This section in particular sounds like complete gibberish, I tried to make as many qualities of life changes as I could, but I don't understand this section. Someone please try to fix it, as I cannot. DerGeist4040 (discusscontribs) 15:55, 12 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

I may just remove this part, it looks like it doesn't add anything constructive to the article DerGeist4040 (discusscontribs) 16:39, 12 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
