In this history documentary we bring to life the insane scale of a Roman Army on the March! We begin with the basic marching rates for individual soldiers to establish a baseline for our analysis. We then calculate the true size of a Roman Army made up of four legions and its auxiliaries. These are then placed four men across and arranged end to end to calculate their maximum length of over 25 kilometers. However this is just part of the story. We then cover the logistics of actually moving a force of this size from point A to point B. This is done by simulating a 24 hour cycle of a Roman army on the march. The result is a stunning 3D rendering in Unreal Engine 5 of what such a monstrously large force would have looked like. This hopefully gives you a better appreciation for the mechanics of ancient armies and how disasters such as the Battle of Teutoburg Forest could have unfolded.
