Thank you for your quick response. Yes, lets drop the whistle. I would not want the thread to end as I would really like to explore this question and learn something about the Romans did this.

I would think any signal to rotate ranks (if that is what they did) would have to be by sound of somekind. I think a visual signal would not work because in order to see it the legionary would have to take his eyes off his enemy from time to time to look in the direction from where the signal would be given. Maybe there was no signal of any kind and as an individual became tired he slowly moved back until the man behind him could take his place.
