The Greeks used 8 foot spears with a 3 foot diameter shield. They relied on short swords after their spears were broken. The majority of Romans did not use Pikes, as far as I know, however, they had throwing spears that bent after impact, to make them useless to the enemy. Anywho, the Macedonians had much longer spears and smaller shields, which allowed them to carry the spear with two hands. The Romans used their formations and close combat tactics more than spears.
