The Roman battle order normally consisted of three lines of cohorts. The first rank, consisting of four cohorts was called the hastatus, the second the, princeps, and the third the pilus.

Why is phalanx important in ancient greek?
It was a compact formation of 16 ranks, the spears of the first three ranks protruding. The rear ranks rested their spears on the shoulders of the ranks in front of them, and these plus small shields formed a defence against arrows fired at the phalanx. The phalanx was trained to wheel and reform in different directions, and was effectively a large battle tank. This worked as long as it was phalanx fighting phalanx. But the Romans had learned to fight in open formation, each warrior having fighting space, and when they ran up against the phalanx, they manoeuvred around it, attacking it from all directions at once. The phalanx ceased to be an effective formation.

What has been the controversy regarding the two types of ancient Greek phalanx formations?
The ancient Greek phalanx battle formations have been the subject of debates both in ancient history and among today's historians. In fact, it is still not clear whether the so called deep phalanx formation was a better tactic then the so called "shallow" formation. In one instance a phalanx formation composed of veterans, may have only needed ranks four rows deep. In the case of new, untested soldiers, the depth of the phalanx formation was at times 12, 16, and 32 ranks deep. Some historians believe the deeper the group, the more power it had. It had extra soldiers in the rear ranks to step forward to replenish lost troops on the front rows. This is contrasted by others who claim that extra deep ranks were redundant inasmuch as the front ranks were responsible for either the victory or the defeat in a battle.
What would you ask a centurion?
I would ask a centurion about their experiences in maintaining order and discipline within the ranks, as well as their strategies for leading soldiers in battle. I'd be curious about how they balanced the demands of military duty with the welfare of their troops, and what insights they had on the nature of leadership and loyalty in ancient Rome. Additionally, I'd inquire about how they perceived the changing political landscape of their time and its impact on the military.
