The focus of our history lesson today was to find out why the Roman army was so successful.  We looked at why the Romans needed a powerful army, identifying the equipment of a Roman soldier and Roman fighting formations. 
We learnt  lots of new things including; that the Romans had the largest fighting force in the ancient world, they were the best trained, had the best weapons and were so good that even when they fought against armies that were ten times their size, they still won!
