I have heard of some ancient sources attesting to a method whereby a wounded or terminally exhausted legionary could switch places with the man behind him and could get relief. Is this true, and does anyone know the exact methodology behind this system? I found a video that I believe represents this system -relatively- well. ;-)

Only the first 1:05 is particularly relevant. The rest of it's just Caesar conquering Gaul. Not a big deal in Roman history. :wink:
