Wedge formation in Ecnomus: myth or reality?
#1
How real was wedge formation of Roman fleet in the battle of Ecnomus? Many researchers think that it is a myth, but according to G.Tipps s article (The battle of Ecnomus // Historia, 34 (1985). P. 432-465), this formation existed in reality

This is new to me. I have never seen anything illogical in it. Which publications have I missed?

For example, Walbank in his commentary on polybius.

eugene. You must put your real name into the signature, it´s a forum rule. Deleting threads in whic I ask you to do so and reposting the content again in a new one doesn´t help. You still must put your real name into your signature.

Click on profile above. Click again on profile. Write your name into the field "signature". Save. Done! Smile
