I wouldn't say the tactic is a complete invention of the show. We know they rotated out of battle and this is a good assumption of how they did such a thing. They had historical people on the show to help with accuracy. The whistle is a thing we believe they may have used as some were found on battlefields. It at least has historical bases as we don't exactly know how they rotated whole units. It is still up for debate in how it was actually done but this is the closest we ever got on a tv show.See: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/13h2n3t/how_did_roman_cohorts_communicate_in_battle_to/ Which touches on those points as well as the pulse model pushed by some scholars such as Adrian Goldsworthy. --- Aut viam inveniam aut faciam.
