Another question for the experts:<br>
<br>
I've read that the Roman maniple was more maneuverable than the Greek phalanx, but I haven't seen an explanation as to why. Is it because the ranks were more shallow, or was it more dependent on the efficiency on the training received at the Field of Mars? <p><br><i>SI HOC LEGERE POTES, OPERIS BONI IN REBVS LATINIS FRVCTVOSIS POTIRI POTES.</i></p><i></i>
