Avete, fraters!
Following is a review which appeared recently in Ad Signa, the Legio VI newsletter. Thought you might find it interesting, particularly the part about the "mobbed maniple."

SOLDIERS & GHOSTS
A history of Battle in Classical Antiquity
By J. E. Lendon
Yale University Press, 2006
Reviewed by David Michaels
A second subtitle for this excellent, thought-provoking book might be: “Everything you thought you knew about ancient armies is (or might be) wrong.â€
