Hoplite spacing and formation
#76
I have a book "warfare in the classical world" 2001 by John Warry were they illustrate the closing of the ranks with the following picture: http://imgur.com/darrnBB - but in the same book they also tell about the rear half of the enomotia filling up the space in between the next enomotia - which is the correct one and how would that look? I'm guessing that in a enomotia of 4x8, the rear half of 16 men would divide into 2 lines of 8 in each and fill upp the space in between the next enomotia. But then they would have to position themselves differently from the front half of the enomotia, or am I thinking wrong?
