    Imagine the streak of pure cruel delight when you realize these are completely undisciplined savages on an adrenaline high from months of no resistance being able to rape/pillage/burn their way across Roman territory with impunity. They are completely unskilled, most have never held a sword except to murder women and children, and as the blood begins to flow and they realize your lines have not moves a fucking *inch* despite the fact there they outnumber you over 10-1, you can see the terror in their eyes, the panic of realizing just how big of a bear they have awoken in the legion, and then, from somewhere behind you, Paulinus roars: "FORWARD" and you begin to press, and realize with even more relish, that the fools have boxed themselves in by putting their baggage train behind them, to let their families watch as they cut down the Romans and claim independence.
    Now, they're all trapped.
    Now there is no way out.
    Just them, you, and a gladius that is thirstier than the poor souls who followed Crassus into the Parthian dunes. They sacked, mutilated, and tortured countless innocents, defiled the sacred places, and now they are at your mercy.
    and by Mars, you have none.

    A legionnaire is a soldier fighting in the French Foreign Legion, a legionary is a soldier of Rome. Sorry, but everyone gets this mixed up all the time.

      Yes, but legionnaire comes from the Latin. All roads lead to Rome…

      Not only they won, but also massacred Boudicca's army and people being in an absurd forces proportion against the Icenii.
