Q: Appian suggests that the victorious general at this battle organized his manipuli like the rungs of a ladder rather than like the black squares of a chessboard. During the early stages of this conflict the hastati were able to confuse the first rank of Libyans, Gauls and the Balearic contingent and Vermina's apparent failure to arrive on the day of the battle exacerbated one side's cavalry advantage already gained by the additional forces of Dacamas.
