Well put Matt. Currently I favor Phalanx, since:
a) it is a generally known term
b) represents the mod of Classical Greek warfare and by development the Hellenistic one
c) it represents early Roman warfare
d) in a way the manipular legion is a reaction/development of the phalanx
e) there are strong indications that some sort of first line phalanx made its way back into the legion from the 2nd C AD onwards
f) Late Roman formations seem a further development of this.

Hmm, you seem to have read Wheeler's articles.. I agree, but still.. Phalanx sound Greek to me, and I'm a Roman at heart. My vote goes to Acies.

'Phalanx' doesn't pack any punch for me.

Ah, the Anatomical Pun of the Month prize goes to this man... ;-)

That's only my initial reaction, but that's often what counts. 'Ancient Warfare' or 'Ancient Miltary" or 'Ancient Soldier' or 'Ancient Armies', etc, says it all, and doesn't leave any question marks in the potential reader's mind.

I agree - it is always best if it 'does what it says on the tin' so if what it says on the tin is gibberish, it isn't doing its job. Did like the Boobies suggestion, though; an inspired marketing strategy worthy of Prentiss McCabe.

An interesting name for the magazine would be

BALISTA

[Caius Fabius]

Bare Legs (Men in tunics) Just kidding
The Phalanx title already has a wargame with that title, also a video game, and a magazine... (from Amazon) Military Operations Research - Incls Phalanx [MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION]

I thought that Ars Belli would be a good name, but since the idea is to get an english name, why not "The ancient art of war"?
