"Caesar could not start a siege while being out numbered by the defenders." I guess you missed what happened at Alesia.

Under any other circumstance, Afranius would be the mirror genius of Caesar in the Spanish theater of conquest just as Caesar would have been in Gaul. He made Caesar make more trenches than a farmer in this campaign. Impressive skills by both commanders. I pity the poor native warlord who had to put up with either of them. Glory to Rome.

The spolas is not theoretical, it's directly mentioned as a kind of lighter form of leather armor by Xenophon. What is not known is what shape/form it takes, but the tube-and-yoke system is likely. As for up-armoring with scales (or bronze plates), there's no exclusive way that was done either. Sometimes the belly is, or the shoulders, and so on. The tomb paintings showing men in civilian clothing and hats is not likely showing men in full panoply, so I don't think it too likely that men would participate especially in pike phalanx combat, without armor. Normally you can skip armor if you have a very large shield or are afforded great mobility, but you get neither in this situation, so armor becomes much more important. The jointed metal sleeve concept for the sarissa is unlikely. All other pikes in history are one-piece creations, and re-creations of sarissas have been made that work well as one-piece construction. Having to join some ten thousand pieces of shaft together before a battle sounds like an absurdly long and complicated logistical nightmare, especially if they, as organic material is wont to be, are best fit with one specific top/bottom piece.

The Greeks lost from Romans because they were totally STUPID. The Greeks were not united. If ALL the Greeks were united then the Romans could lose Rome at 12 months!!! I know people that you do not understand the power of the Greeks , so i must explain! When i say "if the Greeks were united" then i mean "if the greek kingdom of Macedon , ALL the Greek states of south mother Greece , ALL the Greek states of Great Greece , ALL the greek states of Bosporus , the greek kingdom of Kirinaika , the greek kingdom of Alexandria (fake name-Ptolemaic empire) , the greek kingdom of Antiochia (fake name-seleucid empire) , the greek states of Thrace and the greek states of Cyprus WERE UNITED , then the Romans could stand NO CHANCE against the Greeks!!!" .It would be IMPOSIBLE for the Romans to win! Just imposible!

The senate and Pompey declaring JC a rebel with a total lack of any muscle to back this up was a major mistake. What did they think JC was going to do ? Lay down and cry ? They were utterly unprepared for JC crossing the Alps with his legions.
