The emergence of Macedonia in the Fourth century b.C. is parallel to the rising of Philip’s Macedonian army. In that army, cavalry played a decisive rol, becoming the offensive weapon par excellence. Its appearance is part of the evolution of that period’s trends, where Philip played an important role. Nonetheless, cavalry’s image has not been completely understood by contemporary historiography. Therefore, we will analize the evolution of Greek cavalry, and particularly Macedonian cavalry, in order to make it clear: its composition, equipment, organization, and specially its deployment and way of combat.
