Talk:Roman Infantry Tactics

I saw this cool video of Rome and one scene was where all of the legionnaires (carrying shields) put themselves in some sort of a shell. The front lines put their shields in front of them and the rear put it above and they guarded themselves from a massive wave of arrows. Maybe someone could put that for a defensive tactic. I think it's called "testudo formation" or tortoise formation. It's a pretty intelligent strategy to protect a legion.
