The implication is that at 8 deep for the infantry alone each man would have taken up 6 feet which means that just for the infantry the width of the force would have been around 1,800 to 2,000 yards.
I would post links to videos that would help explain, but last time I posted some idiot removed them (apparently some people don't think Roman battles were violent).
Oh the grand oh Duke Suetonius, he had a Roman legion, he galloped rushed down to (a minor settlement called) Londinium then he galloped rushed back again. Londinium Bridge is falling down, falling down ... HOLD IT ... change of plans, we're leaving the bridge for Boudica and galloping rushing north.
