They die later when their comrades and/or centurions ceremonially or instinctively beat them to death. But Aryaman points out the braver ones would go through with it anyway. That said, I think discipline was pretty strong most times. If the centurions called for the wedge, it must have been for a reason, and the fact it had been called for must have given hope to the men, so it would have been an enthusiastic attack? Fluidity was a successful Roman trait. <p></p><i></i>
