The Triplex Acies was the triple battle line employed by roman legions. This formation was the key to Roman military success! It allowed legions to traverse rough terrain while maintaining cohesion and provided a system for reinforcement in battle that provided incredible staying power.

I hope you enjoyed this historical video about the Roman military machine!
