What was the army of Philip the king of Macedonia armed with?

A clear distinction of the army of Philip the Great was the Macedonian phalanx. It was a phalanx of a new type. Here phalanx pikemen were armed with long 6 meter spears – sarissa. The Macedonian phalanx itself differed from the typical phalanx of the Greeks, which was built in 9 rows. The Macedonians expanded the phalanx formation to 16 rows and made them even more compact. Also, a rather important place in the Macedonian army was occupied by heavy cavalry.
