Military technology is the application of technology for use in warfare. It comprises the kinds of technology that are distinctly military in nature and not civilian in application, usually because they lack useful or legal civilian applications, or are dangerous to use without appropriate military training

We are continuing our series on the Ancient Greek Warfare with a video on the siege technologies of the Greeks prior to the reforms of Philip of Macedon and Alexander the Great. This video covers the siege engines used during the sieges and the defenses employed. Support us on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/KingsandGenerals

In the previous video we discussed the beginning of the reforms of Philip II and his mighty Macedonian Sarissa Phalanx. But Alexander's father did not stop there, also reforming his Companion Cavalry and his light Prodromoi cavalry and this video explains the tactics used by the new cavalry units, their weapons and armor, their battle roles and how they were formed. Philip also employed an engineer corp, led by Polyidus. Polyidus and his successors would create and improve many siege weapons that helped Philip and Alexander in their conquests.
