In this historic documentary, we bring to life the insane scale of a Roman army on the march! We start with baseline march rates for individual Soldiers to establish a baseline for our analysis. We then calculate the real size of a Roman army composed of four legions and its auxiliaries. These are then placed four men across and arranged end to end to calculate their maximum length of more than 25 kilometers. However, this is only part of the story.
We then discuss 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. We hope this gives you a better appreciation of the mechanics of ancient armies and how disasters such as the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest might have played out.
