Pretty much as the title suggests. Interested in knowing if there is any evidence that Macedonians (at any time) painted their pikes? Regards,

Since wood does not last, the best evidence may be based own painted pottery or mosaics. |

No concrete evidence though? Mosaics or anything like that? |

As on the other thread, there is the Alexander mosaic (based on a earlier painting) and the murals. Both seem to show plain wood, even for the xyston in the hands of Alex. |
