Hi,
Marcus Junkelmann in "Die Reiter Roms II" (page 132) writes, that the Greek/Macedonian cavalry was usually formed in units min. 4 and max. 8 ranks deep, but without further details.
Do you know some primary sources talking about this? So far I've been able to find Xenophon's Hellenica III.4.13, where the Greek cavalry was formed 4 deep.
Thank you.
Alexandr
