@romanhelmetguy: I’m assuming we’re talking Late Republic legions here, let’s say Julius Caesar’s army fresh from their campaigns in Gaul #smaug #hobbit #thehobbit #lotr #tolkientok #lordoftherings #dragon #roman #romanhistory #ancientrome #ancienthistory

Nah, legion gets bodied easily. Smaug got taken out by a magic bolt, that was the reason it was so effective. Romans sadly did not have magic

Let’s say 10% of those ballista arrows hit Smaug. They first have to cause a dent in his scales and then hit that same spot

In the book Smaug is killed by a regular guy with long bow and an heirloom arrow.

ballista is probably thr only thing that might be formidable. rest is just a waste of soldiers, not equipped or trained for dragons.

Used Roman artillery many years ago during a re-enactment display. It packs a punch!

Smaug was killed by a lucky shot with a black arrow, the legion gets decimated effortlessly

Also the scorpio, possibly pictured last, was a smaller version of the ballista, more akin to what was actually used to take out Smaug (1/2)

But here's the thing, would the Romans be that willing to fight a dragon? If something as big and terrifying as Smaug killed that many men, the Romans

Would they actually carry those with them or would they have to build them on site?

Ok so I agree with the ballistas they could do damage to Smaug, but try hitting an airborne and fast target, the ballistas you depicted were slow

Nah I disagree. Smaug lost to a good shot, when in reality a dragon is the medieval equivalent of a nuclear bomb.

The black arrow is useless unless is hits Smaug’s underbelly and it took 1 shot to make a weak point and a lucky shot to hit its weak spot.

this video could be extremely short because the answer is that smaug would literally smoke a Roman legion

How about a peak Western Roman Legion VS peak Byzantine Cataphracts Legion (or ~5,600) or W. Roman Legion VS around 5-6K peak Vikings.
