 Maniple (military unit) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maniple (Latin: manipulus) was a tactical unit of the Roman legion, consisting of two centuriae within a single cohort.
Maniple members, seen as each others brothers in arms, were called commanipulares (singular commanipularis), but without the domestic closeness of the much smaller contubernium.
After the Marian reforms of the legion, the maniple existed, but as sub-unit within the cohort structure, with the cohort being the primary tactical unit, although cohorts could be broken down into maniples should the terrain or tactical situation call for smaller, more flexible units.

The vestments of the priest are the amice, alb, cincture, maniple, stole, chasuble--vestments which the priest wears at the celebration of the Mass--then, in addition, the surplice and the cope.
The subdiaconal vestments consist of the amice, alb, cincture, maniple, and dalmatic; those of the deacon of amice, alb, cincture, maniple, stole, and dalmatic.

Maniples drew up for battle in three lines, each line made up of 10 maniples and the whole arranged in a checkerboard pattern.
Separating each unit was an interval equivalent to a maniple's front of 18 m (60 feet), so that the maniples of the first line could fall back in defense into the intervals of the second line.
The three lines were 75 m (250 feet) apart, and from front to rear one maniple of each line formed a cohort of 420 men; this was the Roman equivalent of a battalion.

 cohort   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The switch of the primary legionary division from Maniples to Cohorts was the greatest change for which Marius is credited.
This switch is clearly related to the fact that there was no longer a land requirement to serve in the military; accordingly, there was no difference between the type of weapons each group carried, since everyone was being supplied by the state.
In the Maniple system that existed before Marius, there were four divisions: the velites, hastati, principes and triarii.
