From Ancient Greek era, using very long spear as the primary weapon is actually very common. That kind of weapon give the users the ability to wound their opponent from safe distance. And when they grouped & creating dense formation known as phalanx, no army can defeat them in melee combat. The formation is slow & difficult to manouver though, so they're often accompanied by cavalry & other troops carrying lighter weapons.
