Eral cohorts in a hollow square. This latter might have been made circular, to resist attack at the angles. A legion could form the square by placing the firs...t, second, and third cohorts in front, the eighth, ninth, and tenth in the rear, the fifth and sixth in the right, and the fourth and seventh on the left.
