Roman Battle Formations Mid Republic to Late Rep.
#26
Crispus: You're right, I think. I visualize a legionary standing in the center of a six foot by six foot box. Thus if he is in the center of the box there is on each side of him 3 feet minus the width of his own body (with some overlap from the shield). So I suppose that works out to about 2 feet of clear distance on each side of him.

On the old RAT wasn't there a long discussion on "which six feet is it"?
