Arrangement inside maniple: Vegetius
#9
Quote:(unfortunately i haven't an english translation of this pace):inter ordinem autem et ordinem a tergo in latum sex pedes distare uoluerunt, ut haberent pugnantes spatium accedendi atque recedendi
This passage is part of the translation that I posted above:

'Between line and line, they wished to have a space of 6 feet in depth behind them to give the fighting men room to move forward and back . . .'
Michael King Macdona

And do as adversaries do in law, -
Strive mightily, but eat and drink as friends.
(The Taming of the Shrew: Act 1, Scene 2)
