to give patrons an engaging and educational experience that will help them understand how the evolving role of the footsoldier in late medieval warfare affects them today. In addition to a training and teacher handbook detailing all aspects of the demonstration, the team also produced other supporting materials for the demonstration, including a website, a digital primary-source interactive and detailed background research documentation. 5 Introduction The Higgins Armory Museum currently has a wide array of demonstrations and artifacts which give its patron an awed sense of the knight being a gallant almost invincible warrior throughout medieval and renaissance Europe. The goal of this project was to dispel that illusion and give the Armory a way of showing its patrons who the real muscle of the late medieval and early Renaissance army was. The project developed an interactive, hands-on demonstration for the museum based around the concept of late medieval pike drill used by ordinary footsoldiers. The demonstration was designed to offer patrons an engaging and educational experience that will help them understand how the evolving role of the footsoldier in late medieval warfare affects them today. In addition to a training and teacher handbook detailing all aspects of the demonstration,

Th e Place of Archery in Greek Warfare Th e Ancient Greek Archer: . at work & war by Tom Winter Summary: Despite the ancient Greek equivalent of an Agincourt, the Greek military mind fi rmly retained the heavy infantry, rather than the archers, as the main force. Recognized uses of the archer in Greek warfare were to fend off heights of city walls, to perform commando raids, and to provide covering fi re for commando-style operations. Th is essay, written after a fresh reading of the principle Greek historians, puts together all passages where one can see the ancient Greek archer at work and in his military setting. hen Pericles proclaims the catalog of Athenian forces at the Wbeginning of the Peloponnesian War (431–404), the array looked like this: 15,000 fi rst-line hoplites 1,600 reserve hoplites 1,600 cavalry (including mounted archers) 1,200 archers 300 warships Archers comprised, then, roughly 10 percent of an ancient Greek city’s military force.

Chrysanthis, Department of Computer Science, University of Pittsburgh ii Copyright © by Nikolaos Romanos Katsipoulakis 2018 iii A PROCRUSTEAN APPROACH TO STREAM PROCESSING Nikolaos Romanos Katsipoulakis, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2018 The increasing demand for real-time data processing and the constantly growing data volume have contributed to the rapid evolution of Stream Processing Engines (SPEs), which are designed to continuously process data as it arrives. Low operational cost and timely delivery of results are both objectives of paramount importance for SPEs. Given the volatile and uncharted nature of data streams, achieving the aforementioned goals under fixed resources is a challenge. This calls for adaptable SPEs, which can react to fluctuations in processing demands. In the past, three techniques have been developed for improving an SPE’s ability to adapt. Those techniques are classified based on applications’ requirements on exact or ap- proximate results: stream partitioning, and re-partitioning target exact, and load shedding targets approximate processing.

  • Interpretation of Fiore Dei Liberi's Spear Plays
    Acta Periodica Duellatorum, Hands On section, articles 131 Interpretation of Fiore dei Liberi’s Spear Plays Jakub Dobi Ars Ensis [email protected] Abstract – How did Fiore Furlano use a spear? What is the context, purpose, and effect of entering a duel armed with a spear? My article- originally a successful thesis work for an Ars Ensis Free Scholler title- describes in detail what I found out by studying primary sources (Fiore’s works), related sources (contemporary and similar works), and hands-on experience in controlled play practice, as well as against uncooperative opponents. In this work I cover the basics- how to hold the spear, how to assume Fiore’s stances, how to attack, and how to defend yourself. I also argue that the spear is not, in fact, a preferable weapon to fence with in Fiore’s system, at least not if one uses it in itself. It is however, a reach advantage that has to be matched, and thus the terribly (mutually) unsafe situation of spear versus spear occurs. As a conclusion, considering context and illustrations of spear fencing, I argue that the spear is only to be considered paired with other weapons, like dagger, or sword. In fact, following Fiore’s logic, we can assume he used the spear to close the distance to use a weapon he feels more in control with. Keywords – Fiore, Furlano, Liberi, Italian, duel, spear, Ars Ensis I. PROCESS OF RESEARCH The article itself is largely devoted to trying to point out the less obvious points to make about this specific style of spear fencing.

  • Nicholas Victor Sekunda the SARISSA
    ACTA UNI VERSITATIS LODZIENSIS FOLIA ARCHAEOLOGICA 23, 2001 Nicholas Victor Sekunda THE SARISSA INTRODUCTION Recent years have seen renewed interest in Philip and Alexander, not least in the sphere of military affairs. The most complete discussion of the sarissa, or pike, the standard weapon of Macedonian footsoldiers from the reign of Philip onwards, is that of Lammert. Lammert collects the ancient literary evidence and there is little one can disagree with in his discussion of the nature and use of the sarissa. The ancient texts, however, concentrate on the most remarkable feature of the weapon - its great length. Unfor- tunately several details of the weapon remain unclear. More recent discussions o f the weapon have tried to resolve these problems, but I find myself unable to agree with many of the solutions proposed. The purpose of this article is to suggest some alternative possibilities using further ancient literary evidence and also comparisons with pikes used in other periods of history. 1 do not intend to cover those aspects of the sarissa already dealt with satisfactorily by Lammert and his predecessors'. THE PIKE-HEAD Although the length of the pike is the most striking feature of the weapon, it is not the sole distinguishing characteristic. What also distinguishes a pike from a common spear is the nature of the head. Most spears have a relatively broad head designed to open a wide flesh wound and to sever blood vessels. 1 hey are usually used to strike at the unprotected parts of an opponent’s body. The pike, on the other hand, is designed to penetrate body defences such as shields or armour.

  • Pikeman-Fact-Sheet.Pdf
    Pikeman Pikemen were foot soldiers (infantry) armed with a pike (a long wooden pole with a metal spear on the end). They were used to defend musketeers against the cavalry. They were also useful to push against the enemy when victory was in sight. They were often placed in the middle of the infantry, with musketeers on either side of them. Pikemen were trained to use a number of ‘postures’ or ways of handling the pike for different kinds of fighting. For instance, to defend against cavalry attack a pikeman would crouch down, brace the bottom of the pike shaft against his foot and point the head of the pike at the horse’s breast. When attacking another infantry regiment pikes would be held horizontally at shoulder height while the soldiers advanced towards the enemy. When contact was made each side would push until one gave way. Pikemen would have to practice these ‘postures’ in what was known as a ‘drill’ so that they could fight in a disciplined manner on the battlefield. A simple pike drill would be: 1. Shoulder your pike 2. Port your pike (hold your pike upright) 3. Advance your pike (pike dropped half way down) 4. Charge your pike ( pike facing your enemy, ready to charge) Pikemen could play a decisive role on the battlefield. For example, in June 1643, at the Battle of Adwalton Moor, the Royalist pikemen fought well, pushing their enemy back and creating gaps for the Royalist cavalry and cannons to destroy the left wing of the Parliamentarian army, and forcing them to retreat.

  • Prices of Weapons and Munitions in Early Sixteenth Century Holland During the Guelders War1
    James P. Ward Prices of Weapons and Munitions in Early Sixteenth Century Holland during the Guelders War1 1. Introduction The adage that to have peace one has to prepare for war may not be of Classical antiquity but the principle was known to Livy and the Ancients,2 and so the influence of the weapons industry on world peace and economy hardly needs to be emphasized now. The purpose of this article is both to present data on retail prices of individual weapons and munitions of war in the first decades of the sixteenth century in Holland, and to show how the magistrates there prepared to defend their cities against an aggressor by purchasing weapons to arm the citizens. Prices quoted here for strategic commodities of war in the early sixteenth century complement those given by Posthumus in his survey of prices for the later sixteenth century and beyond.3 Kuypers published inventories of weapons maintained in castles and elsewhere in Holland and the Netherlands in the first half of the sixteenth century, but the cities of Holland were not included in his descriptions.4 A recent study by De Jong reveals the growth of the early modern weapons industry in the Republic of the United Netherlands in the period 1585-1621 as part of a process of state formation based on entrepreneurship, economic growth and military reform.5 As sources for the present investigation accounts of the Treasurer for North-Holland at The Hague, and of the city treasurers of Haarlem, Leiden, Dordrecht and Gouda were examined for expenditures on weapons and munitions.
