Cannae - why bother with the cavalry?
#36
Well... I will agree with Steven that a researcher has to protect his research until he publishes it and so certain details or novelties may be kept a secret until then. However, I will make some general images that will illustrate some of the points discussed here. Of course these images will be broad approximations of the tactics proposed as is common in relevant bibliography, that is some colored lines with some arrows. As for the legions matter, Steven obviously speaks of 8 Roman and 8 allied legions, which often are portrayed as 8 instead of 16 in bibliography. Thus a consular army is not composed of 2 legions but of 2 Roman and 2 allied ones. Frontages are not that important as far as absolute numbers are concerned, relations being much more helpful in such discussions.
