Battle of Cynoscephalae, Part 3

The success of the Roman Legion over the Macedonian Phalanx proved both dramatic and undeniable. The Roman Legion's flexibility allowing heavy infantry to combat on any front the Macedonian forces was well demonstrated.

The Macedonians, having gained the heights, pressed the Roman legions down slope.  Flamininus called his left forces to move against the Phalanx on the height and put the elephants to a charge. The battle was now balanced.

Beginning the Battle of Cynoscephalae (197 B.C.) near the village of Larissa.

Both opponents were positioned on either side of a ridge of highlands and upland from which the battle takes its name.  Neither side was aware of the others until scouts and advanced skirmishers made contact. Then the armies immediately moved to engage.
