Как Александр побеждал: секрет македонской фаланги

Why was the Macedonian phalanx so difficult to approach—and how was it ultimately defeated? We examine the weapons and tactics of Alexander the Great's army: from long sarissas to shields, helmets, and linen armor. Alexander Kadira and historical reenactor Timur Petrakov demonstrate the equipment in the studio and explain how the famous formation might have worked. How does one hold a spear with both hands and simultaneously protect oneself with a shield? Why did the phalanx need so many ranks? Could it maneuver in rough terrain—and why did the Roman legions become such a dangerous opponent?
