Vegetius is the main ancient source on the wedge formation(Livy mentions it as being used by Cato, Tacitus characterized it as a German tactic),and unfortunatly he does not specify the actual tactical formations used. Probably could have used by both cohorts acting independently or Legions as a whole(Vegetius kind of implies this when he talks about the four strategies used in battle.) <p></p><i></i>
