Questions on socii in Republican armies

[Aryaman2]

Hi all
As socii were organised in cohortes, not in manipuli, I guess they were not following the roman divisions in velites/hastati/principes/triarii, so my question is, how was their equipment, along roman lines or following local traditions? is there any evidence on that?

I haven't read it so i don't know if it is what you are looking for.
I hope it is.
