Does Cynoscephalae fire your tastebuds? It's an interesting one to look into, I believe.

I was thinking of Cynoscephalae as well when I read the essay question. One important thing of note (which will no doubt come up should you research the battle more) that the above article only touched on is that the decentralization of Roman command leadership was a big advantage, and furthered the Roman legions' flexible nature.

Soldiers & Ghosts by JE Lendon is an excellent read, split into Greek and Roman sections which should let you compare and contrast.

I'd reccomend Goldsworthy for Roman tactics though many of you will disagree.

Seconded.
