Tom Felton and Joseph Fiennes in Risen
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The 2016 historical epic Risen, which got mixed reviews when it released, receives high accuracy marks from an expert in Roman warfare. Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves director Kevin Reynolds was behind the camera for Sony’s Biblical epic about a Roman soldier’s search for the body of Jesus.
A sling can actually be reasonably effective. You can absolutely kill someone. The one downside is a shield, or a shield wall as those soldiers are making, is very likely going to repel those slings. So slings are used for skirmishing, but if you have a really disciplined infantry formation you're not going to be able to break it apart just with slings and arrows.
A testudo formation is just a very close compact formation where not only are the shields in the front of the formation, locked together, but the soldiers in the rear ranks lift the their shields over their heads, the soldiers on their sides hold their shields to the sides, and basically it creates a a kind of box-like formation protecting the soldiers as they move forward.
