Furthermore, what makes this battle notable is the foolishness of the Britons to form up their wagon train in a crescent formation to their rear. It should be noted that historians do mention a cavalry charge at the end of the battle, but it can be argued that it was not the deciding factor in this engagement. As losses mounted up on Boudicca’s side, the army quickly broke and routed from the field. Since the Romans were extremely well armed legionaries (at this time Rome no longer used the maniple system because of Marius’ reforms) they were able to cut through much of the rebel army with ease. When battle commenced, the Romans struck down many Briton soldiers with javelins and pila, then began to cut through them using a wedge formation. Boudicca and her generals formed up and marched on the army but were not very well armed and had to rely on sheer force of numbers to overwhelm the Roman army. Cut off from reinforcements and heavily outnumbered, Suetonius positioned his army at the end of a valley with his back to a forest as to prevent himself from being surrounded (and to prevent his soldiers from fleeing the battle if it went sour). Essentially what happened was Gaius Suetonius Paulinus found himself cut off from Roman reinforcements as Boudicca marched on his army with the intent to destroy it and liberate much of Britannia from Roman occupation. 2008, Katalogi in monografije 39, 240 pages, 91 colour and b-w photos, drawings, tables and maps, 33 plates, 24 x 32,8 cm, hardcover, ISBN 97-60-8.The Battle of Watling Street (AD 60 or 61) was definitely a good example of a better use of infantry and maneuvering to outsmart Boudicca and her rebel army of Briton tribesmen.
