Vegetius describes (I.26) the formation of an "acies quadrata": "Tertio praecipiendum, ut [milites] quadratam aciem repente constituant, quo facto in trigonum, quem cuneum uocant, acies ipsa mutanda est."
From what we could understand there is a link between the acies quadrata and the cuneum, but while "cuneum" is a pretty common term in sources, we don' t have many other account of an acies quadrata.
So, do you know other source describing an acies quadrata?
