Good sources for Research!?

**tapanojum** · 11-24-2007, 08:23

Hey guys, do you know any good online sources for research on Macedonian tactics and formation after Philip II created it?

I've tried googling with no success as most the links came out as too generalized or not credential (Wikipedia)

Any ideas please? Thanks a lot!

After 2 weeks of struggle i finally found me self a decent resource about Phillip II

http://www.livius.org/phi-php/philip/philip_ii.htm

I hope that helps. It got name of couple historians from that era. And links to other stuff like military tactics I think.

Thanks for replying. Sadly that link you gave me is the ONLY decent source I've managed to find earlier as well hehe.

Maybe I need to start accessing databases...

This may prove some help as its a very important aspect that is often over looked.

Without this income he could not have paid for his many well-trained mercs or the huge breeding herd of Scyth horses that his son would later use to great affect.
