The basic infantry formation is the "maniple," sometimes called the "manipular formation". This is unit four ranks deep, but I can't remember how many men across the maniple was. I wish I had my books at work with me. I know exactly where to look this up...<br>

Typically maniples would be deployed with auxilliary cavalrymen on the flanks. <p><BR><p align=center><font color=gold><font size=3>
