When Rome battled Pyrrhus of Eprius fought had the Roman legion fully converted from phalanx fighting to the three lines of Hastati, Principes, and Triarii?
As I understand it that was the battle line used during the First Punic War so I was wondering when the conversion became complete.
Finally what was the sword used by the Romans before the gladius was adopted?
