This - he killed 1/8 of the roman military at teutoburg forrest.

And if nothing helps, just skirmish, skirmish and skirmish again and do NOT go into melee.
Like Ambiorix did successfully because he recognized that romans were better suited and armed in melee. He then fleed and was never seen again thus didn't allow romans to revenge, hehe.

Based Ambiorix.

>how would you beat the roman army?
With a flamethrower.

It worked,but it's not reliable.

Greek fire

romans had notoriously and reliably shitty recon.

flood their country with hostile migrants and compromise their financial system

>was the roman wall ever beaten?
Yes, dozens of times, in some environments it was so useless they even outright abandoned use of tower shields for more conventional ones and adopted the tactics of the locals with proved infinitely superior compared to their own within said regions.

let some jews in

Fight them in dense forests

The testudo formation in your pic was more meant for use against missile fire, not in melee. In close combat a cohort would throw pila (javelins) then enter melee. There was nothing that special about the roman military, it wasn't unbeatable. It was, however, extremely well trained, disciplined, and equipped, and often led by competent commanders with excellent unit cohesion . Most of who they fought did not have near the level of organization and logistics the Romans did. They did encounter some issues against ambushes in deeply forested areas, against elephants and fast cavalry, and horse archers. Although they won the wars against all these peoples there were some battles where they lost simply because no formation, tactic, or man is unbeatable.

Germans are such subhuman faggots. Got their asses kicked again and again, literally living in huts while Rome built wonders and had advanced science and military tech. Then once the Empire collapsed from the inside out, the germanigger apes swoop in like roaches to get what they can. Just a disgusting race of uncivilized people. Rome was Europe's greatest civilization of all time.

Ballista en mass can thin them out and create gaps, so can other catapults throwing large weights. Caltrops and rabbit holes can break formation. But Greek fire and flamethrowers are probably among the best weapons. Macedonian phalanx can work, if used properly.

Better question: How would you beat the greatest military mind in human history?

Stab him 30 times

Send him a dozen Jews.

Lots and lots of arrows. Like, all of the arrows.

He got defeated a few times, Caesars' ability to just luck out every fucking time he got in trouble is what made him succeed so much.

Get him into politics

That's not Napoleon.

1. Split the boys into groups of five to ten
2. Send them into Roman land to infiltrate into towns and cities.
3. At a pre-arranged date in mid summer they would suddenly just set fire to everything they could-- crops, graineries, storehouses, and mills especially
4. Now that the harvest is ruined they flee back to friendly territory
5. Now let's see how well will the legions fight without food

Also
1. Get as many horses as I can breed, buy, pillage, or steal
2. Train the men to ride them
3. Train the men to shoot bows from horseback
4. Shoot and run until the legion is done

So... a halberd or billhook then?

>how would you beat the roman army?
Horse archers

Aim at their legs.

They were adventurers once, til they took arrows to the knee.

If cavalry and skirmishers didn’t properly screen for them, the Roman infantry like any other got wrecked. Parthian light and heavy cav gave Romans lots of trouble when the Roman Republic was at its height.
They weren’t using the maniple formation at that point I think.
His greatest moments came when fighting illiterate Gauls.

>wins 1 battle
>loses a million others
>cant stop talking about the one battle they won

fuck horseniggers

In that formation? Run cavalry into them. They'll topple like dominoes if they can't get into a phalanx formation.

They'd be just fine since most food was imported from North Africa

Hey, it works a year or two go in St. Louis during those riots.

Attack before they turn from marching order to battle formations. Pick up a place for battle where you are in better position (higher ground!). Dig up some trenches and place ground obstacles.

Then forget about this shit, romans focused heavy infantry so you tak as many horse archers as you can and perform hit & run on them as their main force can't dream about catching you. Don't pick up melee with them. Roman formation is designed to fuck up any infantry at very close range, so keep distance and annoy them.

Romans could be beaten in battle but not at war.

The Maniple system was very damage tolerant in that you could slice the Roman Army in half and it would still be a deadly opponent. Add to this high levels of Roman discipline and even when you had them routed the Romans could limp away and regroup.

Then they'd hide out in their little fort and come back the next day. It was relentless. Hannibal Barca squashed Roman Army after Roman Army just for an even BIGGER army to show up next year.

Yes, with heavy cavalry. The Tortuga formation folds when hit by a armored cavalry column or wedge formation especially and historically when flanked by it.

>see roman wall, but black and swat
>other swat shooting tear gas at you
>take tear gas canister and underhand throw it under the shields
>shoot fireworks under the shields
>liquid ass bomb for the lulz
>stomp feet if nothing else

Theres lots of ways

Almost all tear gas munitions burn incredibly hot. Enjoy your burnt hands. Not to mention cops always mask up before deploying gas.

And shooting fireworks at cops is probably a great way to get shot by a jumpy cop thinking it's a gun.

Are you 12?

Even shit recon could detect an army strong enough to fight a legion.You can't count on every general being a retard like Varus

With another shield wall. And people behind that shield wall with BC molotovs.

That's all well and good if you plan on a head to head fight but small groups using hit and run tactics could hurt the legion, softening it up for the real battle.

Mind, legionaires were usually well prepared for ambush but they could still loose men to surprise arrow volleys.

Introducing a gozillion of africans and making roman girls believe that they are cuteer than huwyteys.

Parthians did once
>but then the Romans came back and stomped them

You can’t tell from the picture but each of those soldiers would have had two javelins. They could and did easily withstand light cavalry charges. Heavy cavalry is a different story, but none of their European foes had armored heavy cav. At the end of the day, Romans prevailed mainly due to their advanced engineering knowledge and logistical system. Some have argued a major factor in Rome’s fall was their underappreciation of the waterwheel. Somebody said at their height the Romans were three to four centuries away from an industrial revolution even without all the other scientific knowledge the lacked. Imagine a steam engine in 1000 A.D., idk if I buy that though

Flails aren't ideal for anything. What advantage they have against shields pales in comparison to their glaring drawbacks. There's a reason no one used them in actual combat

>believe they're cuter
Even in a liberal hell hole like Seattle, that's a very small minority

You posted the wrong image, man. No worries though, I got you.

Flails aren’t worth the metal they’re made of. Concussive force is better utilized in maces and warhammers.

That's not Alexander the Great

Infantry backed by mass light cavalry, the only thing the Romans reliably lost to.

The way they beat carthage was by bribing & supporting the Numidian King's brother to usurp the throne and back the Romans over Carthage, taking away Hannibal's cavalry
