Cynoscephalae, Thessaly · 197 BC
Legion Meets Phalanx in the Fog
The Battle of Cynoscephalae was fought in 197 BC in Thessaly, northern Greece, during the Second Macedonian War. Its name, Kynos Kephalai in Greek, means Dog's Heads, after the line of rough hills where it took place. Polybius describes it in Book XVIII of his Histories, and Livy follows him closely.
The armies stumbled into each other in fog. Philip V of Macedon formed his right wing into a phalanx on the ridge and charged downhill, driving back the Roman left. His left wing, still coming over the hills in marching column, never formed up. Titus Quinctius Flamininus led his own right wing against it, elephants in front, and routed it. One of the military tribunes with him, whom Polybius does not name, then took about 20 maniples, turned them, and fell on the victorious Macedonian right from behind. A phalanx could not turn to face the rear, and it broke. Polybius drew the lesson in a famous passage: the phalanx was unbeatable head-on on level ground, but the legion could fight anywhere.
The piece
The plate is drawn over the hills themselves, with mist in the folds and scrub on the slopes. The phalanx is a single blue block bristling with pikes, and the Roman wings are red bars. The eye follows the bold red arrow from the 20 maniples, up and around, to land on the phalanx from behind.
