legion marching formations
#7
Some times they would be marching in a formation that allowed them to rapidly manouver into battle lines, and in other less hazardous areas, they marched
with the baggage train interspersed between legions etc.
Varus was shafted for being in a shambolic confusion of baggage train camp followers an troop interspersed......

Caesar was pretty sharp on his marching dispositions, usually leaving the most inexperienced legions to take up the rear(and protection position for the baggage train....
Visne partem mei capere? Comminus agamus! * Me semper rogo, Quid faceret Iulius Caesar? * Confidence is a good thing! Overconfidence is too much of a good thing.
