Mark, can you provide me with a reference of the triarii being in maniples? Thanks in advance
..
Ummmm - I think I may be missing something...... :errr:
Polybius Book VI/24 - the Triarii are divided (by their officers) exactly the same way as the Hastati & Principes into maniples each of 2 centuries. In the standard 4,200 legion they are at half the strength of the others, however.
This is now rather OT - and perhaps better in a new thread if desired......
