As the circumstances for which this arrangement was intended must have been essentially the same then as now, we may conclude that a cohort would form in a solid square, a smaller division in a solid circle, and a detachment of sev- 46 CESAR'S ARMY.
. Eral cohorts in a hollow square. This latter might have been made circular, to resist attack at the angles. A legion could form the square by placing the firs
...t, second, and third cohorts in front, the eighth, ninth, and tenth in the rear, the fifth and sixth in the right, and the fourth and seventh on the left. There would then be a front of 360 ft. And a flank of 320. The inner hollow space would be 280 ft. Long and 240 ft. Broad, thus making 67, 200 sq. Ft. This would contain more than 1000 pack-animals.
c. 111, 89. 7 1 - Under some circumstances we read also of a quad- ruple line of battle. This was designed to meet a flank attack. Some cohorts were taken from the rear line (tertia acies) and placed in line on the right (or left) flank at right angles with the main line of battle.
