How to Retreat without turning your back
#5
Could it be some oblique reference to one of the countermarch drills mentioned in a couple of Greek manuals that any professional Hellenic phalanx would have been familiar with ? Specifically, I have that in mind: https://books.google.fr/books?id=SDQlnlu...ch&f=false
Now Aelian is a much latter writer but he is said to have drawn inspirations from the work of Pyrrhus and Polybe so that would sorta fit.
Timothee.
