We look at the training involved with getting Roman soldiers to arrange themselves for battle. This began with getting in line and moving together. Then basic commands were learned along with simple maneuvers on flat ground. Eventually this was practiced over more rough terrain. Special formations were also learnt for repelling cavalry and for withstanding missile attacks in a siege with the famous Testudo formation.
