-
The tetsuedo was used to protect from missile fire and when approaching a cities walls. It could be used to keep the men together using the combined body weight like a phalanxe to keep from causing too many casualtied from a calvary charge
-
what kind of mod is that? and what game?
-
Yea the testudo formation was, at best, innefective in melee compared to other tacticts and formations, and was only used to advance through missile fire.
-
I know the testudo forfation has no sens in this battle, but the creator of the video wanted to put epic roman action
-
I saw this video in an old music video for Planet Hell by Nightwish that someone made a long time ago.

@sawu101 lol, actually the romans didn't used the testudo to protect themselves from flying barbarians roflmao
If a barbarian jumps in your head in a formation, you aren't in trouble, he's in trouble
This video is historically inacurate
-
@MrAllanDelon they balanced the shield on the guy in front of ems head
-
@sawu101 You are wrong friend. The romans fought on their standard formation when they didn't need to protect from arrows, and the testudo formation would kill ther agility during the battle. There's no logic in rising your shield and use energy with no need
-
@MrAllanDelon the testudo wasnt only used for arrows it was like a mobile tank it killed the barbs while the romans get protected behind their shields
Is the roman commander some kind of an autist?
