Cool, thanks for sharing. A nice, very basic primer to allow you to dig in deeper later.
I find the Assyrians very interesting, but am not as into them as you!

That was pretty interesting and I like the channel too - bitesized chunks of history and learning.
I quite like biblicals but I have to admit not knowing much about them, so thanks for sharing!

The Romans actually used the phalanx formation as well though. It was not until the 3rd century BC that they started using the legion formation they became famous for. And even in the Roman legion, the elite troops (triarii) still fought in phalanx formation until they were abolished in the Marian reforms.

They did not use a Macedonian style phalanx though.

Yup, this ^ The video depicts the sarissa, not the doru. I'm aware the Romans used Greek equipment and tactics in the past, but that is not what is depicted.
