Wheeling the phalanx

[hoplite14gr]

Thanks Steve
Very plausibe for the Byzantine Period.

Ancient and modern Greek is Metavoli (pron. METAVOLE) is the "about turn" or "about face". The command is not a verb but the sitation that the leader wants the men to be in.

Modern NCOs give it in two parts META-VOLI where troops prepare in the 1st half and execute at the 2nd half.

I can only speculate if Ancients and Byzantines did the same because in my experience it is practical

Kind regards
