Roman military strategy
Roman military strategy centered on disciplined, well-trained legions that emphasized flexibility, organization, and logistics. They used a combination of strong formations like the testudo and manipular system to adapt to various enemies and terrain. Strategically, they prioritized speed, cooperation among units, and comprehensive planning, including fortifications, supply lines, and tactical surprise. They often built roads to quickly deploy troops and maintained a structured hierarchy for efficient command. This approach allowed them to dominate diverse foes and expand their empire through strategic conquest, allowing for rapid response and sustained campaigns across vast territories.
