ELi5: How did public address work before amplification? Like, Caesar addressing his troops on the field
In: 23
The idea of the gallant general telling to his men isn’t really something that happened because of exactly the issue you’re realizing. That many people means it’s a ton of ground to cover with one’s voice. Instruments like drums or trumpets / horns were used to give instruction in battle. Sometimes generals would run up and down the line but that was not very effective in the heat of battle.
