The republican army of the Punic wars
#5
In most of the books I've read so far, the author usually cites Livy and Polybius', and in what I can only suspect is a desire for fair play, will usually write a paragraph disclaiming the writers to each other. It's a usually a brief decription of how both ancient writers agreed with each other except for this or that point, and we can't really know for sure who is more accurate, etc.<br>
<br>
I have a few personal opinions on specific small-unit tactics that disagree with both authors, one of which is front line deployment. <p><br><i>SI HOC LEGERE POTES, OPERIS BONI IN REBVS LATINIS FRVCTVOSIS POTIRI POTES.</i></p><i></i>
