in_o marius_n and_o caesar_n time_n they_o give_v over_o those_o that_o the_o triarij_fw-la do_v bear_v the_o cause_n be_v for_o that_o it_o be_v no_o convenient_a weapon_n for_o a_o battle_n

be_v it_o in_o a_o battle_n for_o as_o livy_n say_v the_o phalange_n be_v unmoveable_a and_o of_o one_o kind_n the_o roman_a battle_n consist_v of_o many_o part_n easy_a to_o be_v divide_v easy_a to_o
