Explanation: While most people think of the distinctive (and admittedly very cool) testudo (left) formation when speaking of the military of Ancient Rome, it was actually a very specialized formation for deflecting projectiles. Roman legionaries had a wide variety of formations they were trained for, and often would leave some space between each soldier to allow movement and maneuvering when engaged with an enemy in close-combat. |
