Add spearmen to Dakara's list.

Also, can use formations to block ram movement using stand ground + line.  Works with troops that might have issues dealing damage like skrimishers/pikemen.

Another option is surrounding with pikemen + stand ground.  Will block ram.  Can wait unit Sword/ram/ele/women arrive to finish off.

Don't underestimate the power of slingers against rams. 

If you are Macedonians, make spear cavalry or any champion

If you are Ptolemies, make mercenary swordsman. If you can't, then block ram with pikes, send in women and make slingers shoot at the ram. 

If you are anything else, make spear or sword.

Like others said, women are commonly overlooked as an anti-ram unit and can be really seful. Especially since lots of players try to send in sneaky rams without protection. As a bonus, if you're playing the Spartans, women have an extra hit point and basically function like low-end swordsmen. They can be used as either anti-siege or anti-cav in a pinch.
