Hi,<br>
this is indeed a hotly debated topic. What a pity Gary Brueggeman's site doesn't work.<br>
Goldsworthy's book is really full of interesting ideas.<br>
I would also like to recommend some other articles, where you can find other theories and ideas:<br>
Sabin, P. The Face of Roman Battle, JRS 90, 2000, p. 1-17.<br>
Sabin, P. The Mechanics of Battle in the Second Punic War, in: Cornell, Rankov & Sabin (eds,), The Second Punic War: A Reappraisal (London: Institute of Classical Studies Supplement 67, 1996), p. ??.<br>
Zhmodikov, A.: Roman republican heavy infantrymen in battle, Historia 49, 2000, p. 67-78 (can be downloaded here: www.fenrir.dk/imperium/ga...iblio.php)<br>
<br>
There has been a nice discussion about this on the forum some time ago even with participation of Dr. Zhmodikov, however I'm not able to find the thread. Probably it has been deleted...<br>
<br>
Greetings<br>
