7. PYDNA (June 22, 168 B.C.)

Warfare changes over time: yesterday’s winning tactics may well be tomorrow’s antiquated defenses. Though the phalanx warfare perfected by Alexander the Great proved a great success, it could not withstand the more mobile Roman legion. One hundred and fifty years after Alexander’s death, the Macedonians suffered a devastating defeat when their phalanx proved incapable of maneuvering across broken terrain.

Roman casualties: 500 killed/wounded

Macedonian casualties: 20,000 killed

10,000 captured

Ratio: 60:1
