This is an outstanding work discussing in several battles against the Carthaginians and with the Gauls. In discussing the battles it talks about the actions of the principes, hastati, and triarii as separate maneuver elements. It talks about formations used to deal with elephants and how the light troops were utilized. It starts with the works of Polybus and how he described these maneuvers, then compares them with the interpretations of several 19th century military historians
