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.

agreed, however the notion they used tower sheilds is preposturous. Tower sheilds were designed to combat cavlary.
