Battle-line rotation during the combat
Yes you have reason, but he tell "The generals flew hither and thither overlooking everything, exciting the men by their ardor, exhorting the toilers to toil on, and relieving those who were exhausted so that there was always fresh courage at the front." Where the word used "metopon" indicate the frontal part of army not a single rank, so Appianus can speak of classical cohort rotation.
"Each historical fact needs to be considered, insofar as possible, no with hindsight and following abstract universal principles, but in the context of own proper age and environment" Aldo A. Settia
