Roman Empire military tactics

The Roman Empire's military tactics centered on disciplined, organized legions that used flexible formations like the testudo (turtle) to protect soldiers and adapt to various threats. They emphasized well-trained infantry, coordinated with cavalry for flanking and rapid maneuvers. Techniques included precise engineering for fortifications, strategic retreats to lure enemies, and quick, marching attacks. Their disciplined cohesion, combined with strategic planning and engineering prowess, allowed them to conquer and control vast territories efficiently. These tactics fostered adaptability, ensuring their armies remained formidable across different terrains and opponents.
