i'm reading discipline and punish, and most of it's time is spent giving shit tons of examples for a particular type of power it names discipline, which is more or less the micromanagement of people's bodies and actions.

So the idea you are getting at here is, unsurprisingly, complex but to try to get an overview of it, I might suggest starting out by taking a look at W. Lee, Waging War (2015), look at chapters 3, 4, 7 and 9. The concept you want is 'synchronized discipline.'
On the Romans in particular, the back half of J.E. Lendon, Soldiers & Ghosts (2006) goes into the Roman idea of disciplina.

That said, synchronized discipline - men moving together in time - is a big part of Roman and Macedonian military training. So there is a fair bit of micromanaging people's bodies in all of this (though I don't find Foucault a particularly useful lens for understanding this.)

It is also not distinctly or even particularly western of European, a point that Lee makes quite well - the Han are doing synchronized discipline at the same time and in much the same way as the Romans.
