It is said that the Romans used the "pig's head" formation against Boudicca and her forces. This was a vee shaped formation in which the Romans pushed into the attacking enemy with a wall of shields. The enemy could get into the spaces between the "vees" and then the back ranks of the Romans would turn and dispatch the entrapped enemy. However, the Roman were victorious not only because of their tactics, but of their discipline and training. War was their business, they knew what to do and how to do it. Their training and skill is what enabled less than 10,000 men to defeat a mob of 230,000 and slaughter 80,000 with only 400 losses.
