That's too bad because Maffii's book was quite interesting

Re: Question about two units
It may well be quite interesting, and may have some good information from it, but a common symptom of general histories of that time period (1939 publish date) and even of our own times is not only to generalize information, but also to invent details which fit within the generalized plot-line. That sounds like what's happened in Maffii's book. I might also wonder whether, in the context of fascist Italy, it might display some fact-bending to proclaim the importance of Roman power and military activity.
