Strelets M009 1/72 Ancient Roman Legion at Battle

Perhaps the most commonly used adjective to describe the soldiers of Imperial Rome is disciplined. While tactics could vary as necessary the basic concept was to move together in formation with shields to the fore and swords between the shields, ready to stab at anyone who got in the way. Behind the front rank came men with light spears that were thrown as the enemy came very close so as to cause casualties and some confusion just before the ranks met. Against less well organised and less well equipped foes this steamroller tactic usually prevailed, on which foundations a mighty empire was built.
