67.18.

ut coniungerentinferrent: subst. clause, secondary obj of monuit; cf. 6 10, 59 10, and notes. — conversa, etc., should face about and charge the enemy in opposite directions (lit. bear turned standards against). The two united thus formed a kind of hollow square. It is not necessary to suppose that the soldiers stood immediately back to back, though this is probable, in as much as the attack was on both flanks and in front.
