Boy, did she ever get her butt handed to her HERE. in 60 A.D. (7:15)
Some neat displays of Roman Tactics (starts at 2:00) - discipline beats a mob, despite the odds.
Yeah, the Roman governor / commander really knew his stuff, and he had a mere legion and a half vs 75,000 murderous crazed Celts. Picked his ground, didn't wait for the rest of the troops he'd summoned to show up, and let the Celts attack on his terms. I think I read that they'd pulled up the wagons to give their young a better view of their inevitable victory, but that served as a barrier so that when they broke and tried to flee, they couldn't get out fast enough. It could be that the Battle of Watling Street actually selected out those least likely to accept Roman rule right near the beginning, and everyone who hadn't flipped out were the ones who had all the descendants.
