This video presents a battle model of what modern historians believe to be realistic ancient warfare. With our limited sources and material, it has always been hard to visualize the combat experience and decipher what it meant to do battle, and how they played out to one’s favor. Supporting this model will be countless sources from Polybius, Livy and Caesar, to modern combat of boxers and riot police. We believe the few descriptions and evidence we have is enough to visualize a general guideline for understanding ancient battles, especially Roman infantry bottles!
