FORMATIONS!THE WEDGE THE TORTOISE

The wedge was an aggressive formation to crack open their enemy lines. Relatively small groups of legionaries could form such a triangle and then drive their way into the enemy ranks.

As more roman soldiers reinforced the wedge from behind, the enemy line could be forced apart. As breaking the enemy’s formation was very often the key to winning the battle, the wedge formation was vitally important for the

battlefield tactic of the roman army. The saw

was the opposite tactic to the wedge.

One of the Romans most famous formations was the Tortoise or

Turtle.This was where they marched in a

regular formation.The people at the front would hold their

shields, which were rectangular, in front of them

Where as the people at the side would hold their shields sideways which was open to attack.

Roman gods & goddesses

• The ancient Romans believed that gods lived everywhere - in trees, under a bush, by the side of the road, in a burrow, in a flower, in a stream, under the bed, and perhaps even in the stove in your house. There was even a deity who lived inside the latch that opened the door to each home. In Ancient Rome, everyone had a spirit of it Remember Lo, the little spirit that Jupiter turned into a little white cow? Lo’s job, before her run in with the gods, was to guard the creek where she lived.
