Legion vs phalanx: at the Battle of Cynoscephalae, 197 BC, Rome's legions met Philip V's Macedonian phalanx in a fog so thick no one could see the man beside him. Half of the phalanx won its fight. The other half never arrived as a phalanx. Did the hills beat Macedon, or the legion? Animated topographic maps on the real relief, every claim tied to its source, above all Polybius and Livy: pikes of more than six metres, ten points against each legionary, Rome's elephants, a tribune no source names who took twenty maniples into the phalanx's rear, and the raised pikes of men trying to surrender. Where the sources disagree, we say so: Polybius has the phalanx level its pikes, Livy has it put them down and fight with swords; nobody knows which ridge it was; and the losses are round numbers from the winners.

WHAT IS RECONSTRUCTION Every line of our script is labelled attested, probable, disputed or illustrative. The relief is real; the site follows Hammond's disputed proposal. Widths, blocks, the number of elephants and the tribune's route are ours (dashed arrows). No army totals. The paintings are AI-generated ("Artistic impression"), with movement added by us; a few landscapes (the crests, Larisa, the Isthmus) use AI image-to-video.
