Nice work my friend!
Even though these are not real soldiers, I am sure that they have had a lot of training prior to public exhibition. Coordinating and working roman strategy does demand a lot of knowledge and practice.
Thanks for sharing in ARANPA.

If you consider that they came from all over Europe, they had only a few hours to train together. It was really good.
If you want to see a movie about it, check [link] (not my video)
At 1:17 you can see the turtle where i made my picture.

Nice video. Why were there 4 soldiers with oval shapped shields? I kind feel sorry for the poor guys in ancient times left behind and out of the turtle.
