In the back of your books answer the following questions: 1. What does the Roman General say to get his men ready to battle? 2. What does this tell us about Roman attitudes towards the people they conquered? I am one of the greatest Roman generals of all time, I defeated the British and conquered their lands in the name of the glorious Roman Empire!...I will now show you how... When you are watching the clip think carefully about the following questions. 1. How do the Romans fight? 2. How do the Celts fight? 3. Who won the battle and why? Feature Weapons (what weapons did each side use?) Armour (What Armour did each side use?) Tactics (How was the battle fought?) Romans Britons Roman FC? A good way to look at the roman army, is that its like a football team, they had: The best Equipment Total commitment Good rewards Mobility International squad Discipline and tactics. Complete the tables on Roman FC 1. The authors of this book have thought of their own criteria for a successful army. 2. How similar are their criteria to yours? How is this similar to a football team? BEST EQUPMENT: The best equipped soldier in the army was the legionaries. The legionaries were armed with a javelin, sword, dagger and shield and protected by body armour. TOTAL COMMITMENT: All soldiers were volunteers staying in the army for 25 years. The army became their family and the best soldiers became centurions in command of 80 men. GOOD REWARDS: They were well paid and had good food, hospital treatment and baths living better than most civilians. They were also give 10 years pay as a pension. MOBILITY: Straight roads were built so they could move from place to place quickly. EXCELLENT TRAINING AND FITNESS: Soldiers trained long and hard and had to be able to march 32km carrying two swords, a spear, shield, cloak, two pots, bowl, spoon, spade, pick, axe, food and spare boots. INTERNATIONAL SQUAD: as the Romans conquered new territory they got the best local fighters to join the roman army. 9000 British men joined the army after Britain was conquered, and sent to fight all around the world. DISCIPLINE AND TACTICS: Roman soldiers were forced to be loyal, if there was a mutiny whole battalions would be decimated, killing every tenth man. They also had clever battle tactics. Why did this make the roman army a success? 1.Let’s watch some adverts! 2.Which Marine advert do you think is the best? Why? 3. Why do you think do an advert in the style of “Go Compare” would be inappropriate? 1. You are going to do an advert for the television!!! 2. Your aim will be to persuade people to join the Roman Army. 3. You will use the information on pages 30/31 of the text book to help you. 4. You will write a script of the advert in the back of your books. 5. You have 20 minutes and should refer to at least four things that the Roman Army could offer a soldier. 6. You must also refer to what skills the Roman Army may require from an potential applicant. 7. You will produce a Storyboard advert for homework. 8. This will be performed next lesson. GOOD LUCK!
