🛡️🐢 How Roman Soldiers Built a Moving Roof | TESTUDO 3D CGI

What would happen if hundreds of Roman soldiers turned their shields into one giant protective roof?

The Roman testudo was a military formation in which soldiers overlapped their shields to protect the formation from missiles. Ancient descriptions explain that shields could be arranged closely overhead, while Roman reliefs such as those on Trajan's Column depict the formation in use.

This Empire Echo episode uses premium Hollywood-style 3D CGI, volumetric lighting, realistic particles, cinematic camera movement and synchronized battlefield sound design to reconstruct the formation.
