Need a little help here.
I need to put together a list of battles or incidents where the Romans lost at least an entire legion and then promptly returned with new forces to crush the opposition. These would have to be battles that took place after Cannae.
I am putting together a bit on Roman resiliency (or stubborness) and wanted to list some examples. I already have the Roman defeat in Germany as a partial exception. Rome did return but not immediatly and not to conquer but to punish.
Any information would be appreciated.
