  2 1|        ended, tumultuously chose two leaders, and waged a more
  3 1|         proposed, which included two things: the one, that a
  4 1|          that as soldiers are of two kinds, afoot and on horseback,
  5 1|      which uselessness they cite two principal reasons: the one,
  6 1|       this, a City ought to fear two enemies more than one. One
  7 1|   physical appearance. The first two have been discussed: it
  8 1|         and agile, which are the two things sought above everything
  9 1|     custom that each of them had two legions of Roman men, who
 10 1|      second legion; of the other two, one was selected by the
 11 1|      arms can cause disorders in two ways: either among themselves,
 12 2|     carried a shield on the arm, two arms in length and one in
 13 2|          for in managing it with two hands it is impeded by the
 14 2|        all the arms which exceed two arms in length are useless
 15 2|        staff more solid and with two iron tips, so that if the
 16 2|        for them to follow one of two courses: either when they
 17 2|     shields like the Romans, and two thousand pikes and a thousand
 18 2|      such (defeats).~COSIMO: But two doubts occur to me: the
 19 2|   thousand miles distant, rivers two or three days (journey)
 20 2|        the extraordinary Veliti, two Constables, five Centurions,
 21 2|        to him in particular, for two orders are observed in the
 22 2|          and give it the form of two squares: the second is to
 23 2|         the first form can be in two steps. The first is to have
 24 2|         men are distant at least two arm lengths from each other,
 25 2|  rectangle thus formed is called two squares).~¶ And as we have
 26 2|          the shoulders (behind); two centurions are in front
 27 2|      centurions are in front and two behind in the shoulders
 28 2|      head-to-head with the other two Centurions; and when he
 29 2|       and then he stops; and the two Centurions who are alone
 30 2|      necessary, therefore, to do two things: first, to have many
 31 2|         in showing you the other two methods for arranging the
 32 2|        method of forming it with two horns (wings), I say, that
 33 2|      twenty five files that have two pikemen (each) on the left
 34 2|        on the left left side and two pikemen on the right: and
 35 2|     files to form a company with two horns (wings), the first
 36 2|          infantry per file, with two wings, on each side of his
 37 2|      Captain will be between the two wings, and a Centurion in
 38 2|          the wing. There will be two files of pikemen and twenty
 39 2|         Ten on each flank. These two wings (serve to) hold between
 40 2|        between the points of the two horns (wings), which then
 41 2|       horse. I would permit them two carriages, and one to each
 42 2|       one to each Centurion, and two to every three Heads of
 43 2|        the fact that) these last two parts of the world have
 44 2|       have had a Principality or two, and few Republics; but
 45 2|         speak little of them for two reasons: one, because this
 46 2|       every ten light cavalrymen two, which, like those of the
 47 3|         of the army, placed like two wings on a body, and they
 48 3|         do, because if the other two are repulsed, this (third)
 49 3| mentioned wanting in a Battalion two thousand pikes, which are
 50 3|         there were not more than two Legions of Roman Citizens,
 51 3|          which they divided into two parts, and they called one
 52 3|        which consisted of twenty two thousand infantry and about
 53 3|      thousand infantry and about two thousand cavalry effectives,
 54 3|     force, they brought together two Consuls with two armies.
 55 3|        together two Consuls with two armies. You ought also to
 56 3|         Romans, just as they had two Legions, I would take two
 57 3|        two Legions, I would take two Battalions, and these having
 58 3|       ones by forty arm lengths, two of which should come behind
 59 3|     these I would place the last two companies, also in a straight
 60 3|         one arm lengths long and two hundred wide. The extraordinary
 61 3|       and flag carriers at least two hundred picked men, the
 62 3|          you assembled into your two Battalions would have to
 63 3|      army is increased either by two Battalions, or by as many
 64 3|       placed by the flank of the two companies which I place
 65 3|         three, and the rear with two; and I would believe that
 66 3|        this example) have placed two companies in the last ranks,
 67 3|          only have to fight with two fresh companies, but with
 68 3|        the eight among the third two, does it not seem possible
 69 3|         between the three or the two: there also remains that
 70 3|       remain firm, and become as two wings of the army or do
 71 3|       this engagement to you for two reasons: one, to show you
 72 3|   extraordinary pikemen, and the two of the extraordinary Veliti,
 73 4|         added?~ZANOBI: There are two things I desire before we
 74 4|         of the Army. This causes two great disorders to the enemy:
 75 4|         which, having killed the two Scipios and defeated their
 76 5|         And as the wagons are of two kinds, that is, those pertaining
 77 5|           and want to arrange my two Battalions, which I have
 78 5|          square whose hollow was two hundred arm lengths on every
 79 5|        distant from the other by two hundred twelve arm lengths,
 80 5|      space) forty arm lengths by two hundred twelve arm lengths.
 81 5|          front and rear of these two flanks, I would place another
 82 5|       one flank and the other is two hundred twelve arm lengths,
 83 5|         up by the Army should be two hundred twelve arm lengths
 84 5|         on every corner: and the two banners of the aforementioned
 85 5|          the Army must do one of two things: either he places
 86 5|    artillery and cavalry, occupy two hundred eighty two arm lengths
 87 5|        occupy two hundred eighty two arm lengths of space on
 88 5|       this square is composed of two Battalions, it must be devised
 89 5|          left by them, enter the two bands of extraordinary pikemen
 90 5|         between one another, and two remain behind distant another
 91 5|     would have to enter into the two bands of extraordinary pikemen
 92 5|      organized to assault you on two sides, the two sides on
 93 5|    assault you on two sides, the two sides on which he assaults
 94 5|         be strengthened from the two that are not assaulted,
 95 5|       true that I desire to know two things from you: the one,
 96 5|  soldiers. This method makes for two very great disorders: the
 97 5|       the war. They did this for two reasons: The first so that
 98 5|    ambushes, which may happen in two ways: either you enter into
 99 5|          in this you have to use two different means, since you
100 5|          is led (caught) between two mountains, and has but two
101 5|       two mountains, and has but two ways of saving himself,
102 6|          you that the Romans had two Legions of Roman men in
103 6|         that at the encounter of two Roman Legions I have taken
104 6|       Roman Legions I have taken two Battalions of six thousand
105 6|         me not to stay only with two Battalions, but to assemble
106 6|       composed like the Roman of two Battalions and as many auxiliary
107 6|       four thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry effectives,
108 6|     divided into four companies, two of your own forces and two
109 6|       two of your own forces and two of foreigners, I would employ
110 6|        lengths. I would also run two other lines which I would
111 6|         which exists between the two extreme (end) lines, I would
112 6|      which would be one thousand two hundred fifty (1250) arm
113 6|         of the Captain and these two roads having been designed,
114 6|    therefore the quarters of the two battalions of your own men
115 6|        Way, I would place thirty two quarters on the left side
116 6|        Captain’s Way, and thirty two on the right side, leaving
117 6|     their partitioning. Of these two arrangements of quarters,
118 6|   quarters of the cavalry of the two battalions would come to
119 6|       with their heads in thirty two quarters situated on the
120 6|   companies which constitute the two regular Battalions, I would
121 6|      place the quarters of every two companies behind the quarters
122 6|       wide. And thus these first two rows of quarters would be
123 6|      place another row of thirty two double quarters which should
124 6|       row in each area of thirty two double quarters, with the
125 6|   companies (of infantry) of the two regular battalions, in the
126 6|     place the Captain’s Way. The two battalions of auxiliaries ((
127 6|    quarter on each side of these two regular battalions with
128 6|       from each other, to create two roads which I should call,
129 6|         would place on each side two other rows of quarters,
130 6|   battalions, which would create two other roads, and all of
131 6|          There remains to us now two spaces, of which one is
132 6|          Way of the Plaza. These two roads being located, I would
133 6|         said plaza, I would make two rows of quarters, and each
134 6|       quarters, and total thirty two all together, in which I
135 6|      Veliti; so that each of the two regular battalions have
136 6|          regular battalions have two thousand extraordinary pikemen,
137 6|      Veliti; so that each of the two regular battalions have
138 6|          regular battalions have two thousand extraordinary pikemen,
139 6|       except the ordinary, since two parts of the army are organized
140 6|         considerations, they had two principal ones: the one,
141 6|       not want to stay only with two battalions, but took up
142 6|        would want you to tell me two things: the one, if I have
143 6|       the Romans joined together two consular armies, they made
144 6|       consular armies, they made two encampments and had the
145 6|         this number they opposed two hundred thousand Gauls whom
146 6|          at bay. This is done in two ways: either by assaulting
147 7|    towers placed at intervals of two hundred arm lengths. The
148 7|         base of the ditch, every two hundred arm lengths, there
149 7|        indestructible because of two mistakes: one, because it
150 7|         is this, that they erect two pilasters at the outside
151 7|         in vain. And, generally, two things ought to be done,
152 7|        have endeavored to win in two ways: the one, to open the
153 7|        this deception occurs for two reasons: either because
154 7|   occupied towns with tunnels in two ways: either they dug a
155 7|         of these four, the first two are more necessary, for
156 7|          of cavalry, should make two provisions: the one, that
157 7|  Captains who are praised are of two kinds. The one includes
158 7|        and in addition, food for two or three days, and a shovel?
