Hmm,some of these ideas are indeed written in books,however I truelly recomend reading the thread "othismos true nature"
http://www.romanarmy.com/rat/viewtopic. ... t=othismos
The victorious phalanx had better not ever break in groups of thres and fours.Apparently,this is all a phalanx had to do to win. Killing as many opponents as posible was not first priority,as it came naturaly after one of the phalanxes broke. Do read the above thread.
