Quotes by Ian Worthington (?)

“But thirty years after that, at the battle of Pydna in 168, the Roman general Aemilius Paullus remarked he had never been so fearful as when he faced the Macedonian phalanx in battle array (pp. 166–167).”
― Ian Worthington, Athens After Empire: A History from Alexander the Great to the Emperor Hadrian

“As expected of a Macedonian warrior king, he led the attack and was always in the thick of fighting to set the right example to his men. Alexander would do likewise, often at his own peril.”
― Ian Worthington, Alexander the Great: Man and God
