Phillip II of Macedon revolutionized the Macedonian army and warfare in the Ancient world. Phillip II made military service a full time occupation which allowed the men to train constantly and become a cohesive group. He also innovated the phalanx technique by introducing new weapons such as a longer spear and a two-handed pike.
