READ ABOUT THE ROMAN B.C TESTUDO {TORTOISE} FORMATION FOR WAR.

                A lot of people might have been watching a lot of Roman ancient movies,especially the war movies,and the Roman soldiers in those movies must have demonstrated these formation in the picture above to fight their wars,and surprisingly,they have won many wars using these war formation.The formation is called the ''Tortoise formation {Testudo} a.k.a the Ancient Roman Tank.The Tortoise formation is the ancient forerunner of the modern tank.The testudo or tortoise formation was a formation used commonly by the Roman Legions during battles,particularly sieges.Testudo is the Latin word for tortoise .The Greek term for this formation is ''Chelone'' and during the Byzantine era,it seems to have evolved to what military manuals of the era call ''Foulkon''.The men would align their shields to form a packed formation covered with shields on the front and top.The first row of men possibly excluding the men on the flanks,would hold their shields from about the height of their shins to their eyes,so as to cover the front formation .The shield's would be held in such a way that they presented a shield wall to all sides.The shields would be held in such a way that they presented a shield wall to all sides.The men in the ranks would place their shields over their heads to protect the formation from above,balancing the shields over their heads to protect the formation from above,balancing the shields on their helmets,overlapping them.Plutarch in his write ups describes this formation as used by ''Mark Antony'' during his parthia in 36 BC,likewise Cassius Dio also wrote about the testudo when describing the campaign of Mark Antony in 36 BC too.Police in these our era {20 century} still do make use of these testudo during riots and other dangerous times in their career but they use the transparent one's to that they can view their enemies through the shield.The transparent shield and design of the shield is the only difference between the old testudo and new one's..More photos below.
