Quote:Even if it is a good guess, that a centurio led his men from the front, that does not mean, that he was standing in the first line. If he stands in the 2nd or 3rd line it is much harder to kill him. Same with the signifer.

Isn't that the theory behind the antesignani? The officers and standards are in the second line?
