three battle

-

triplex (Latin "triple triple") - a military order used by the Roman legions, formed in the quincunx scheme. The name is derived from the triple rank of the manipulators in the legion. Manipul was comprised of 120-150 men, 6 ranks of 20-25 soldiers. In the form of acies triplex the manipulators were separated by a gap with the width of the handle of the next line. This was aimed at providing a high maneuverability and ease of rearrangement while retaining the ability to quickly create a dense line of troops.

The first line of 10 manipulators was called hastati. The name comes from the spear (hasta), used to fight shorts, later replaced by a short sword (gladius). Young soldiers (up to 24 years old) were set up. The first two ranks (hastati and principes) also used heavy throwing spears, pilum.

The second line, principes, consisted of soldiers aged 24-30, more experienced than the hastati who entered the fight with the first formation. It was supposed to cover the gap between them and the first hastati line.

The third, decisive line was triarii, the oldest soldier-veterans. They covered the gap between the second and the third. They were used only as a last resort. Roman affair: "The matter came to the third row" (Latin Res ad triaros venit) meant that the situation became critical. Their manipulations, in contrast to the hastati and principes, counted 60 people. The triarii did not use the pilum, their equipment was a spear, the same one used by the hastati, the gladius, the scutum, the helmet, the shiners, and the chainmail. Bibliography
