Hi,<br>
a very interesting discussion of the depth of Roman formations is in Goldsworthy, A. K.: The Roman Army at War 100BC-AD200, although I don't agree with his opinion, that the Roman battle line was usually only 3 men deep.<br>
For some other arguments see also<br>
Wheeler, E.L.: The legion as a phalanx, Chiron 9, 1979, 303-318.<br>
Greetings<br>
