Everything is out in the open. One only has only to read Livy 8 8.
 

Livy 8.8 relates to a period four hundred years before the Boudican revolt and says nothing specific about distances. It describes an essentially text-book array. In any event, I doubt that Livy had much to say about the formation drawn up by Suetonius Paulinus, having died at least 43 years beforehand.
