Aanvullende informatie

Onomarchos commanded Phokis during the Third Sacred War after seizing power following his brother Philomelos's death at the Battle of Neon in 354 BC. He was the first Greek general recorded to have used artillery — catapults and siege engines — in pitched battle, funded directly by the plundered treasury of Delphi. The federal coinage issued under his authority was itself an act of sacrilege by Greek standards, as the silver financing his campaigns was being melted down from temple dedications.

He died at the Battle of the Crocus Field in 352 BC, defeated by Philip II of Macedon, and was reportedly crucified posthumously.
