Modern scholars believe – according to Plb. VI 40 and Seru. auct., Aen. XII 121 – that the Roman armies used only two types of marching array, the pilatum agmen and the quadratum agmen. But the evidences shows that quadrato agmine – a very low frequency lexical compound – means ‘in battle- array’, and that there were three distinct preclassic types of agmen : a) the “normal” one, a single column formation; b) the pilatum agmen, a lightened column to pass very difficult spots; c) the quadratum agmen, a three-column squared formation to march through open hostile country.
