The fact that they let the Barbarians get to them without a pilum volley is fail .
The all steel Scutum's are awesome . That makes up for the lack of pilum's .

haha genius, where is this?
Russia
If it's a recent pic, I'd guess T'bilisi (Georgia)!
With all those troubles with the elections there...
The closest thing you'll find to watching Romans fight in the modern world is riot police in all parts of hte world.Quote:

I've seen a pic of riot police in a testudo .
The rioters should ambush.
or just clump their unit and break the legionaries' formation.
Do Putin and FM's ride in T-34s?

What you don't see is the next shot when that Amazon warrior has her leg cleaved right from her body.
Riot police need to get trained by the Roman Reanactor guys from RAT.
I mean not only are they missing the pilum, but they also:
1- Hold the shild like a hoplite's aspis. That is with a bent arm and their forearm and hand holding the shield.
---this also limits their ability to use the shild as an offensive weapon to knock down and shove people.
2- The shild lacks a boss.
3- They swing their clubs instead of stab with them (btw it hurts like a mofo to get stabbed with a club).
:dizzy2:
those are the most notable errors.
They also have the lorica kevlarata, which wasn't invented until long after the fall of the roman empire! :clown:
Aren't the rioters sort of the modern voinu?
I don't think present-day Russia is (yet) in so bad a condition resorting to cannibalism were common. :sweatdrop:
