Roman tactics
● they didn't fought if they didn't need to
● choose place and time
● made SWOT choises
"Why the cavalry was behind the infantry?"
because if the cavalry was at the same place as the infantry walked and
the cavalry rided horses cavalry would enter in combat befor the infantry
so there placed in the back so they will fight at the same time
ORB
Type:defense
because: If part of the army had been split
off from the main group or
encircled by the enemy.
How it works:The legionaries form a circle around the officers and the archers
(the most important
people!), using their shields as protection.
- Seen as a ‘desperate last stand’.
‘Repel-Cavalry’
TYPE:DEFENSE
¿why?:To combat a cavalry charge.
How it works:The soldiers form a line, with the men at the front crouching down with their
shields in front of them and their spears
stick out of the gaps. The men behind put their shields over the top of the men in
front, and have their spears ready to throw.
- The spears would stop horses from running at the soldiers, often causing them to retreat.
Those retreating would then knock into the cavalry behind them, causing a domino effect and
making
themselves easy targets for archers.
Tortoise
TYPE:DEFENSIVE
When used:To advance but remain protected from
spears, arrows,
How it works:The Tortoise is square. The men at the front hold their shields in
front of them. The men at the sides hold their shields to the sides. The men in the
middle hold their shields above them.The men had to move in close formation to
ensure that the shields were touching so that no missiles could get in and injure
any soldiers.
The Wedge
Type: ATTACKING
When used:Used aggressively to divide the enemy.
How it works:The centurion is at the front of the ‘V’ and the legionaries form the
sides of the ‘V’ . They have to stay close together to stop the enemy from breaking
the line.
- As the wedge advances, more soldiers join on at the ends
- Breaking the enemy formation was key to winning on the
Roman battlefield!
