Ligustinus to centurion of the 10th maniple of hastati because of his bravery. In the first line, the hastati left modest gaps between each maniple. In neither case is there any mention of the maniple as a vestment in use. In the legion, the "velites" were attached to each maniple of "hastati", "principes" and "triarii". At this point in battle the maniple greatly resembled the phalanx. Attached to each maniple were about 20 "leves", javelin-armed light infantry. The cohort replaced the "maniple" following the reforms attributed to Gaius Marius in 107 BC. Furthermore, the sources are clear that a maniple possessed only one "signum", or standard. The pope then put on the maniple. They are roughly analogous to the maniple used in the Western Christianity. The two centuries of a maniple fought side-by-side. Hence the company of soldiers belonging to it was called a "maniple". He then puts on the maniple and his dalmatic (similar to the tunicle). The maniple was thus roughly equivalent to a double century. But Polybius makes clear that the maniple was the smallest tactical unit in the army.
