    They were training to battle, they were using a strategy called testudo.Testudo, the Latin word for tortoise, shell and arch. This name is also used for the roman army warfare techniques. Standing close together, in the form of a rectangular, flat They Held their shields above their heads, to form a protective dome, which allows them to approach the enemy en masse.

  8. The image is showing legionaries traning for a war. They were proteted with shields over
    their heads and their bodies. The soldiers were using a very famous strategy called Testudo.
    Leginaries were soldiers of legions of 4,000 and 6,000 paid. Each legion had ten cohorts. Each cohort was made up of six troops of about 80 legionarios,called centuries.
    Legionaries were the best Roman soldiers and the best paid. There were other soldiers tough. An auxiliary was a soldiers who was not a Roman citizen. He was paid a third as much as a legionary.

  12. Roman army
    Just men ccould fight in the army bu they diden´t need to be Romans. They needed to be older that 20 years old. They coudn´t marry if they were solders, they haved to stay 25 years in the army. Then they could retern with money or a land to farm. All they they walked a lot and they train the testudo position, that the teacher posted in the blog. The testudo is a position with the shields enfront and up of the persons.
