What would change if say the Late Roman Republic, lets say that for an example Gaius Marius figures out how to use flag signals to control his armies in lack of a useful cavalry to act as battlefield messengers in some battle, from there figures out how to make Semaphore Lines? While it might need to be closer to each other due to lack of efficient telescopes/spyglass (if any type of such), it should still be technically possible
