2 The “testudo” formation The “orb” formation The “repel cavalry “ formation The “wedge” formation The “skirmish” formation

3 The orb was a defensive formation that is in the shape a complete circle. It would be used if a small section of an army had been branched off or if they were completely surrounded.

4 When this formation was deployed it was nearly invincible against arrows, rocks, and other stuff being hurtled at them.

5 The wedge formation was an aggressive formation used to separate and ‘crack open’ the enemy lines. It takes the shape of a arrow head.

6 This formation obviously ‘repels cavalry’. It takes the form of a barrier with a slanted roof. A lot of times archers would be behind this formation picking off in coming enemy troops.

7 The “skirmish” formation This formation features a group of solders with widely spaced lines and every second man has stepped forward a few paces. This could have been used for swiftly moving towards enemies or clearing a battle field of any survivors.
