    Philip II of Macedonia: Part 3

    Topics Covered: Hoplite Warfare, Siege Warfare, Cavalry Combat, Philip in Thessaly and Thrace.  In this episode we follow Philip from 357 BC and securing his own borderlands to 346 BC. The first half of his reign is filled with military and political success on the back of an incredibly well trained army and a great and innovative siege corps. This episode covers ancient siege warfare and the Macedonian War Machine as well as Philip's political machinations across Greece. This is the first half of his reign and it is highly eventful. Enjoy.

    Philip II of Macedonia: Part 1

    In this episode I dive into the History of kingship in Macedonia throughout the late 5th and early 4th century up to the time of Philip II of Macedonia in 359 BCE providing necessary background for the multi part series on the Life of Philip of Macedonia. This story is one that is less told than that of his son, Alexander the Great. Philip, however, through my research appears to be as interesting if not more interesting than his son for his life and accomplishments. This is the beginning of a very unlikely King becoming master of all of Greece and the building up of a militarily irrelevant state to the preeminent power of Ancient Greece.
