Testudo against horse archers? Lmao get fucking wrecked sweating your balls off behind your shields while the enemy is having a picnic out there occasionally lobbing shit at you.
George Washington would shed a tear if he could see that Americans have been reduced to defending themselves with weapons that don't involve fire, loud bangs, and clouds of black smoke.
The horse archers thing sounds far fetched but someone literally got shot with a crossbow near my place about 3 weeks ago so who knows.
Gladius was usually worn as a backup, so you could throw a javelin and then pull it
That and they were used with a massive shield that was generally meant to be used in a phalanx.
Spearmen/pikemen directly behind the shield wall and if they get past the spears/pikes there's a wall of shields and gladii to deal with
Gotta love the UK

testudo is the counter to horse archers?

Good luck defending yourself against a spear

I can hardly move a broom down my spiral staircase. My house is pretty spear-proof.

Does this fucker even trebuchet?
I own a trebuchet for home defense, because that is what the founding fathers intended.
