The Romans were successful in battle because of their superior training. This training now only encompassed the physical aspects of battle and its formations, but they were also trained in the spirit of war, such as believing they could not lose. Before a battle their legate or general would give a pep talk extolling the superiority of the Romans over the “wimps” they were going to fight. They also had the high tech weapons of their time. This was a formula for success for centuries.
