    Who are you to say that what I say is hearsay. And btw, what tendency? Do I know you? What I say comes from the same documentary someone else saw on the history channel about Boudica.

    Also, Goldsworthy states in his book "Roman Warfare" that Romans constantly used their shield to bash to create room and/or destabalize their opponent, sometimes killing them outright. Also the Roman army in the time of Boudica was very different from the armies seen in the first Punic war so I'm sure the rotating system wasn't used in the earlier wars.
