Sorry for delay, but I’m writing an article for an Italian review and I don’t have much time free.
If I have understand well your thesis you affirm that in Vegetius description the princeps , ferentarii and hastati ,ecc are not maniples lines but singles rows of the same battle line and the triarii are the subsidia line.
The ordinarii command the first rows (rows or rangs?), the principes are the small officers in the frontal rangs.
I have understand well your text? I want to be sure not to interpret badly your thesis first to reply.
PS: Have patience for the response's time.
