As more roman soldiers reinforced the wedge from behind, the enemy line could be forced apart. As breaking the enemy’s formation was very often the key to winning the battle, the wedge formation was vitally important for the battlefield tactic of the roman army. Thesaw was the opposite tactic to the wedge. One of the Romans most famous formations was the Tortoise or Turtle. This was where they marched in a regular formation. The people at the front would hold their shields, which were rectangular, in front of them Where as the people at the side would hold their shields sideways which was open to attack.
