I was interested in the immediate predecessor. So it sounds like the Romans moved to a shorter wider blade for easier use in formation and wider wounds from stabbing.
The first part I will have to research further. I know at one point there were 7 or 8 lines based on the wealth of the Romans and what group it put them in. I am just not sure when the 7 lines were converted to 3 and which of the two Pyrrhus faced.
