How did the Romans protect themselves in battle?
|
To protect themselves from enemy spears and arrows, Roman legionaries would form a tortoise. A group of soldiers would crowd together and lock their shields to form four walls and a roof. It was called a tortoise because it looked like a tortoise's shell. | | A Roman 'tortoise' used by forming shields together |
