This list covers the period from the death from old age of the last Macedonian elephants until the incorporation of Macedonia as a Roman province. It includes the defeats by the Romans of Philip V at Kynoskephalai in 197 BC and Perseus at Pydna in 168 BC. Guard infantry included the Agema and more guard pikemen somewhat confusingly called “Peltasts” (possibly derived from the earlier hypaspists). The main part of the infantry were also phalangites, half called Chalkaspides “brazen/bronze shields”, the other half called leukaspides “White Shields”. Cavalry now had javelins and shield instead of xyston. Supporting foot were Greek thureophoroi, thorakitai, Thracians, Galatian warband and Cretan psiloi.
