Before every battle the Romans were always on their toes ready for what is ahead of them. They know everything that they have to do; they all did it in training. The soldiers and any other roles would get into their position and wait for orders. In battle the Romans would use many different stragic plans. One was that the frontline hoplites would all place their sheilds next to eachother and above to protect from arrows. Then the rows behind them wold also interlock their shields. The whole formation looked liked a giant tortoise. The Roman maneuver was a complex one, filled with the dust of thousands of soldiers wheeling into place, and the shouting of officers moving to and fro as they attempted to maintain order. Several thousand men had to be positioned from column into line, with each unit taking its designated place, along with light troops and cavalry. The fortified camps were laid out and organized to facilitate deployment. It might take some time for the final array of the host, but when accomplished the army's grouping of legions represented a formidable fighting force, typically arranged in three lines with a frontage as long as one mile.
