Doubt about Arrian\'s array
#1
I was reading Arrian's ektasis kata alanon and I thought : is it possible that the legions were deployed in a duplex acies with cohorts arranged on four ranks? the units marched to the battlefield four abreast; then in the clash with enemy cavalry, according to Arrian's account, only the first four ranks had an active role... what do you think?
