Order of a sentence
I want to say:
el característico mando jerárquico romano. the Roman characteristic command-hierarchy or the characteristic Roman command-hierarchy? I'm confused now. Thanks. |

Gracias, chileno. Me gustaría tenerlo tan claro como tú.

the characteristic Roman command-hierarchy is OK, although I would say the characteristic Roman army hierarchy. (In an army, the hierarchy is implicitly a command heirarchy)

That sounds much better. Thanks.

En "mando jerárquico" ¿no es "jerárquico" un adjetivo? Es decir que "hierarchical command" sería más literal.

I think so too,
... el característico mando jerárquico romano. "...the typical Roman army's hierarchical command." ?

Bueno, revísalo con calma... (o dinos lo que te lía y te ayudamos a desliarte)
There are more examples in the net, like The army's hierarchical command structure and appointment of military 'monitors' in all civil ministries

Creo que lo voy a dejar como está :
The most damaging development was a loosening of (...) and the characteristic Roman army hierarchy. Thanks. |
