Is the reference at Stasbourg to a testudo, this passage?
XVI., 12, 49: ...miles instar turrium fix firmitate consistens...
which my Loeb translates as ...stood their ground fast and firm, like towers...
And makes the note that although Turres was also a military formation, here the word is being used in its literal sense.
