Battle-line rotation during the combat

[Mitra]

However I would like to depart from a stable point: the change of line there was for everybody and not only when one was wounded or died.

So the battle-line rotation existed, there is no doubt.

Hi Velite

Very interesting information , but like the other is only speculative. Obvisiously everyone is free to propose and experiment freely, but the "no doubt" isn't acceptable, for each historically theory, but especially when literally or artistic or archeological or documentary proofs no exist.

Let tell me, that archeological experiments are very useful, but more useful for technical-pratical reconstruction (of sources/documentary bound theory) that for test unit tactics or battle conditions first because the problematics to fight with 20 men aren't the same of made the same with 80-100-1000-10000 men, with multiple units and battle lines of 1-2-4 km, second because the dead-or-alive condition cannot be recreated, and it is a fact that the psicological-phisical-perception man conditions are greatly alterated in these situation.
